越来越多关于国家“代理化”、“全民化”和“自治化”的文献强调了当代公共治理中的协调困境，即政府依赖委托治理，但由于这种结构导致的缺乏控制而感到沮丧。在2010年英国大选之前，这种协调困境尤为突出，因为内阁办公室直接或间接地对独立机构施加控制的能力受到了强烈的批评。本文介绍了第一个详细研究项目的结果，以检查随后的联合政府对这一困境的处理方法。它认为，在公共机构的治理方面，内阁府的作用和能力已经发生了转变。在描绘这一发展的过程中，文章探讨了中心在“后新公共管理”改革背景下反击的含义。
A growing literature on ‘agencification’, ‘quangocratization’, and the ‘autonomization’ of the state has highlighted a coordination dilemma in contemporary public governance whereby governments rely on delegated governance but are frustrated by the lack of control that arises from such structures. In the run‐up to the 2010 General Election in the United Kingdom this coordination dilemma was prominent as the capacity of the Cabinet Office to exert control over arm's‐length bodies, either directly or indirectly, received intense criticism. This article presents the findings of the first detailed research project to examine the subsequent Coalition Government's approach to this dilemma. It argues that in relation to the governance of public bodies, the role and capacity of the Cabinet Office has been transformed. In mapping this development the article explores the implications of the centre striking back in the context of ‘post‐New Public Management’ reforms.
