| | Visions May 99 - An Interview with Graham Scott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | Graham Scott is former treasury secretary of New Zealand, where he was at the forefront of the notable reforms begun in 1985 when the federal government initiated radical steps to redefine itsrole, services and structure. |
 | | Scott: The future outlook is generally for a convergence, which will look more like the U.S. reform program, although still involving more adjustment to the role of government than there has been in the U.S. By convergence, I mean reforms that look more and more similar country to country. |
 | | Scott: There is no doubt, I think, if we have a peaceful world in the 21st century, then the nation-state will be under constant pressure to prove that it remains the political organization of choice for a range of public activities anywhere near as wide as those it has performed in the 20th century. |
