Global Trends in Public Sector Reform

Abstract

Are the underlying ideas behind New Public Management (NPM) forgotten ? This book investigates whether this idea is reflected in the real world of public administration or mere wishful thinking. The investigations in this volume comprise studies of not only European countries, but also major Asian, African and Latin-American countries, that is, countries of which much less is known regarding the developments in Public Administration reform. It provides the reader with a remarkable overview of what is actually happening in countries all over the world. More importantly the chapters provide ample information which is indicative for an answer to the question posed above: What has remained of NPM and what is the role of NPM tools in public administration today?
