The Volcker Commission Report Fades Away: A Case Study in Non‐implementation

  • Robert V. Bartlett

Abstract

The National Commission on the Public Service, commonly known as the Volcker Commission, was created to help combat a ‘quiet crisis’ in the United States' federal civil service. The commission made a series of recommendations to strengthen the civil service. With few exceptions, these recommendations have not made their way into law. This examination of the work of the task forces on education and training and on recruitment and retention, in the framework of Daniel Mazmanian and Paul Sabatier's implementation model, focuses on what happened to the Volcker report and why it happened. It concludes with recommendations on what might be done differently in future efforts to strengthen the civil service.
