The Particular Applicability of Public Value Creation to Local Government

Bligh Grant

International Journal of Public Administration, 2021, vol. 44, issue 10, 835-844

Abstract: Comparatively little attention has been paid to public value’s specific applicability to local government. This article addresses this gap in four ways. First, by reflecting on some of the reasons for its appeal to local government managers who encounter public value as graduate students. Second, by examining the greater suitability of public value to local government, as demonstrated by the debate about it as a theory of public management. Third, by identifying the putative limits of this appeal, specifically those arising from measuring public value. Fourth, by explaining how these putative limits are overcome by way of revisiting the theory.
