The blame game, with finger pointing and mutual traffic, is a familiar feature of political and organizational life, blaming the avoidance of government and public organizations at all levels. Political and bureaucratic blame is often condemned and blame is avoided rather than analyzed.

In The Blame Game, Christopher Hood takes a different approach by showing how avoiding blame is the forms of government action and public services. On the grounds that the blame is not all bad, Hood explains that it can actually help to determine responsibility, and examine different types of avoidance of blame, whether positive or negative.

The engine cover tracks how to show key shapes to avoid the same blame for cross-sectional activity, spin, organization structure, and standard operating procedures. Analyzes the scope and limitations of avoiding blame, and looks at how this happens in old and new areas, such as those provided by the digital age of websites and e-mail.

HUD measures the effects of this behavior, from high-level problems to democratic accountability processes that turn frustrating into dealing with organizations whose actions seem to ensure no one is responsible for anything. By going into the internal workings of complex institutions, Blame Game demonstrates how better understanding of avoiding blame can improve the quality of modern management, management, and organizational design..
