Article Evaluation: National Partnership for Reinventing Government

While the article might be short in length, it does have a wide variety of sections and information. Most importantly, all of the sources used came from reliable, working sources. Because of this, the article does an overall good job of remaining neutral and unbiased. In the National Partnership for Reinventing Government article, the information is straightforward and factual. However, I think the article could go more in depth. There are a lot of sections and different types of information, but the information could be furthered and more thorough on some aspects. The article does an excellent job of providing a lot of history and background, but more could be added to the outcome of the program.

Another aspect of this article that was well done was it's simplistic organization, and was stuck to what the specific section was about.

Galston and Tibbetts provide an excellent informational piece. In their writing, a historical perspective is provided, and uses quality sources to support the information being offered. It gives a large encompassing view on the program, as it includes the detailed partnerships among federal, state, and local governments. It also gives successes of the National Performance Review, and gives an outlook on federalism.

This article provides a unique perspective on the program, as it was written during the same time as the program had been implemented. It was also written in preparation for the 2000 presidential campaign. Kettl first highlights the programs’ goals, then begs the question of its’ effectiveness in the eyes of the public. He goes onto explain what he believes are the real issues, and provides possible solutions.

The most helpful aspect of this article is that it goes step by step through the process. It is extremely thorough in why the program was created, and how it will be implemented. The article then provides an evaluative section that outlines its’ accomplishments, and gives an outlook for the next step of the adminstration’s actions. Perhaps the best thing is the resources for further information provided in the article, there are plenty avenues for more information.

This is a government provided document that gives an actual product of the National Performance Review, as it gives the status of recommendations at 10 federal agencies. It is extremely detailed, and brings a bureaucratic approach in its writing. This resource will provide excellent resource as it is coming from the source itself.
