Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates whether the concept of 'New Public Governance' represents a distinct and coherent paradigm shift in the management and delivery of public services. Editor Stephen P. Osborne, a prominent scholar in public management, assembles a diverse group of international experts to evaluate the transition from traditional public administration and New Public Management toward more networked, collaborative, and relational models of governance. The text critically examines the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of these emerging governance structures across various global contexts.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Theoretical frameworks concerning meta-governance, collaborative advantage, and networked service delivery.
- Analysis of public-private partnerships and the role of the third sector in co-production.
- Empirical case studies examining contract management, outsourcing, and trust within governance networks.
- Critical evaluations of the cycle of public sector reform and the sustainability of governance innovations.
