这篇论文解决了一个难题：如何解释英国群体、组织和个人日常行为的变化？在详细分析了政府与市场的相互依赖以及政府在创造市场中的作用之后，我们建议采用韦伯的官僚革命概念：在我们所说的英国官僚革命中，国家通过创建制度和规则，在社会变革中发挥了至关重要的作用，这些制度和规则正在持续地重新定位参与者的行为。对医疗保健领域的例子进行了审查，以确定在大约十年的时间内对行为产生影响的具体机制；即：1)引入竞争做法(制裁/奖励)；2)审计和检查。如果这种解释是正确的，那么我们有理由认为，这场官僚革命的影响超出了英国。这篇文章是对一种现象的回应，我们最初发现这一现象令人惊讶，现在我们将其定义为谜题。在研究了过去20年英国社会的变化后，我们和其他人一样，观察到个人、团体和组织的行为发生了根本性的变化。为什么沉浸在工党传统中的工会领导人开始通过试图向他们的成员提供
This paper addresses a puzzle: how to account for changes in the routine behavior of groups, organizations and individuals in Britain? Following a detailed analysis of state-market interdependence and the role of the state in creating the market, an analysis drawn from the thinking of Weber and Polanyi, we suggest adapting Weber's notion of bureaucratic revolution: in what we call the British bureaucratic revolution, the state has played an essential role in social change by creating institutions and rules that are lastingly reorienting actors' behavior. The example of the healthcare field is examined in order to identify the specific mechanisms that have been impacting on behavior within an approximately ten-year period; namely, the introduction of 1) competitive practices (sanction/reward) and 2) auditing and inspection. If this interpretation is valid, then it is reasonable to assume that the effects of this bureaucratic revolution extend beyond Britain. This article is a response to a phenomenon we initially found surprising and that we have now defined as a puzzle. Having studied change in British society over the last twenty years, we, like others, have observed a radical transformation of the behavior of individuals, groups and organizations. How is it that union leaders steeped in Labour Party traditions have begun competing with each other more intensively by trying to offer their members
