The Conservative government announced the Financial Management Initiative in 1982. This article is based on research into the genesis, development and impact of the FMI. The findings suggest that the FMI has contributed significantly to the institutionalization of resource management in general and cost awareness in particular. Implementation has been influenced, however, by the differentiation of departmental tasks and contexts, the inevitable tension between management and politics, and the difficulty of meeting the conditions for the successful engineering of cultural change.

When the Royal Institute of Public Administration (RIPA) owned Public Adminis‐tration, the editors always reported annually on the journal's fortunes. The practice lapsed when the RIPA went into receivership. Now, with the launch of the journal as a European journal of public administration, we thought it was a good idea to reintroduce an annual report covering the journal's work in the previous year. It will provide an opportunity to air problems and to tell readers where the journal is heading. The report describes the flow of manuscripts and the contents of the journal before briefly surveying each section. It ends with a resume´ of our plans for the journal and a 'thank you' to the many people who have helped during the year.
