“…It will nevertheless be performed to prove the mentioned statement and to give some pointers on contents in which the authors saw transparency connected to different public governance models. Among the mentioned 435 papers that were analyzed, only (a) nine (Brown, Waterhouse, & Flynn, ; Bundschuh‐Rieseneder, ; Çetin, ; Flinders, ; Navarro Galera & Rodríguez Bolívar, ; Newberry & Pallot, ; Pilcher, ; Schneider & Sadowski, ; Vigoda‐Gadot & Meiri, ) address transparency in connection with the NPM, (b) five connect good governance and transparency (Bundschuh‐Rieseneder, ; Buteau‐Duitschaever, McCutcheon, Eagles, Havitz, & Glover, ; P. F. J. Eagles et al, ; P. Eagles, Havitz, McCutcheon, Buteau‐Duitschaever, & Glover, ; Pasape, Anderson, & Lindi, ), and (c) only two (Herrala & Haapasalo, ; Schneider & Sadowski, ) connect transparency with other/hybrid models of government.…”

“…Differences exist across countries under different administrative cultures (Rodríguez Bolívar, del Carmen Caba Pérez, & López‐Hernández, )—transparency in the area of policymaking. Flinders () established the delegation of functions to a range of quasiautonomous bodies adopted by Scotland and Wales. For him, “evolution … is dialectical and iterative … it would be wrong to view the relationship in straightforward principal‐agent theoretic terms” (2011, p. 25)—transparency in the area of accountability, decision‐making.…”

Transparency as transparagency—New “meaning” for new contexts

The development of a holistic governance model for an efficient and effective Slovenian public administration).A literature review was undertaken to find how transparency is connected to different models of governance. This paper addresses transparency in a wider sense than usual and claims its recognition from the systemic point of view. With this goal in mind, Wittgenstein's language games were used to show that transparency means what practice shows it is to regain its meaning in the never-ending circle. On this basis, a new notion of transparency is proposed: transparagency, which connects knowing, understanding, acting, and evaluating under a new umbrella term. On the basis of Google Trends, the paper exposes a link between transparency and freedom of expression that is contrary to common understanding-Transparency is ensured more when people talk about it less.

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review literature concerning hybrid structures, that is, structures that are used to implement various forms of management. More specifically, the authors aim to answer two questions: can the evolution of hybrid organizations be analyzed and mapped, and if so, what are the factors that govern their development? The document is based on a systematic review approach of Little et al. (2009), which aims to make the selection of literature and the review process transparent and replicable following steps, eliminating the problem of prejudice to ensure objectivity of the research and credibility in the results as demonstrated by Rosenthal (1979) and Cooper (2003). What emerges from the literature of hybrid organizations seen from the point of view of NPM, the concept of Paradox, PPPs and Hybrid Impact is very interesting because by tidying up the concepts that various scholars have found it is possible to define what have been the factors that influenced the evolution of hybrid organizations giving a historical definition and helping to understand the roots of the concept and specifically where these new entities will generate impact. Several documents have analyzed the contribution of these approaches to the improvement of Management, Decision-Making, Identity Work, Governance, Hybrid Laws, Microfinance Institutions MFIs and Corporatizing. Through this research the authors hope to contribute to the academic and professional community by summarizing the known literature and suggesting paths for further research precisely because it is necessary the cooperation.

“…Connected to the notion of executive dominance, various authors emphasised the importance of centralisation to the Westminster model. For example Flinders (2011: 2) pointed to a 'centralising ethos [and] power-hoarding logic'. One key manifestation of this is the expectation of a unitary rather than a federal state -cited in around one third of texts containing a full definition, in part due to its inclusion in Lijphart's schema.…”

The Muddle of the ‘Westminster Model’: A Concept Stretched Beyond Repair

The term ‘Westminster model’, widely used in both the academic and practitioner literatures, is a familiar one. But detailed examination finds significant confusion about its meaning. This article follows Giovanni Sartori's advice for ‘reconstructing’ a social science term whose meaning may be unclear through review of its use in the recent literature. It finds that many authors in comparative politics use the term ‘Westminster model’ without definition, while those providing definitions associate it with a large (and sometimes conflicting) set of attributes, and a set of countries often not demonstrating those attributes. Some have sought to respect this diversity by proposing variants like ‘Washminster’ or ‘Eastminster’, while others suggest that the term should be seen as a loose ‘family resemblance’ concept. But on examination it no longer meets even the – relatively weak – requirements for family resemblance. To end the muddle, and the risk of flawed inferences and false generalization, comparative scholars should drop this term, and select cases based on more precise attributes instead.
