Recent Democractic and Administrative Reforms in Germany’s Local Government: Persistence and Change

Abstract

Under New Public Management , NPM , label 1 , the international debate on the recent wave of public sector reforms has so far mostly focused on Anglo-Saxon and, to some degree, also on Scandinavian world, thus fostering an, as it were, “Anglo-Saxon-centrist” optic and an “Anglophone” accent in the current international modernization discourse. Consequently, the Continental European countries (apart from the Netherlands) have been taken less notice of internationally’. In presenting the “German case”, the chapter is meant to address, to shed some light on one of the major Continental European local government systems and its specific reform trajectory and to tie it in with the international discourse of which this volume should become an important vehicle. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
