Abstract

    Major tenets of this recent market-led restructuring of the public sector are presented as the so-called New Public Management (NPM (, which has been touted by some authors as administration revolution or post-bureaucratic paradigm, In line with the common tendency in social sciences to reify ideas not really profound into something as significant as a revolution or paradigm, many management experts portrayed the contemporary public sector reforms as a paradigm shift, According to its proponents, the newly emerging paradigm of NPM is characterized by managerial freedom, market-driven competition, businesslike service delivery, value-for money, result-based performance, client-orientation, and a pro-market culture, For other scholars, however, there is no paradigmatic consensus on NPM: it at best represents a loose collection of ideas derived from the private sector, used by different countries, and propagated by international organizations and advanced market economies. In addition the techno-managerial interpretations of NPM by its proponents do not adequately explain its historical causes, ideological underpinnings, socioeconomic consequences and politico-administrative limitations.

     Public administration has always been under constant review. Such reviews were mostly parochial, incremental, initiated or driven by low-key staff and often ended as fads. From the end of the 1970s to the 1990s, however, governments around the world were engaged in widespread and sustained reforms of their public administration. These reforms were born out of economic recession, but also had political and social drivers. They were initiated by the political apex and fuelled by New Right ideology. Collectively, these reforms came to be termed New Public Management (NPM).

NPM is characterized by marketisation, privatization, managerialism, governance, performance measurement and accountability.

     This employment of corporate attitudes in public administration is grounded on certain theories, mainly public choice, transaction cost analysis and principal–agent theory.
