New Public Management and Evaluation

Frans-Bauke Meer

Chapter 10 in New Public Management in Europe, 2007, pp 165-180 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the last four decades governments and governmental bodies in Western countries have come under increasing pressure, both societal and financial in nature. The quest for efficiency, efficacy, responsiveness, flexibility and accountability of government is a dominant one. As outlined in the introductory chapter, this has given rise to numerous innovations both in public organization and in policy-making and implementation. These innovations aimed at improving government in some respects in order to accommodate ‘external’ and ‘internal’ pressures.
