Reasserting the Public in Public Services: New Public Management Reforms

摘要

This edited volume centres on an important political and academic issue since the financial crash of 2008: the relationship between the state and the market. The book uses a collection of 10 case studies based on a diverse range of geographical and policy settings to provide a timely empirical contribution to new public management (NPM) and public sector reform debates. What all of the authors have in common is their shared view that markets, and the state's relationship with markets, should not be used in a one-size-fits-all approach across public service contexts.
