This volume investigates the complex relationship between New Public Management (NPM) reforms and the maintenance of democratic governance within modern state structures. Editors Jean-Michel Eymeri-Douzans and Jon Pierre assemble a collection of expert contributors to analyze how administrative shifts—ranging from managerialism to result-based legitimacy—impact the traditional functions of civil service. The text evaluates whether these reforms enhance efficiency or inadvertently undermine the democratic accountability of public institutions across diverse international contexts.
