NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT IN INDIA : PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES

0.0

The volume highlights a number of responsible factors, making a conventional Public Administration fail in delivering goods and services efficiently, effectively and economically. It discusses various reasons for the emergence of the New Public Management (NPM), an alternative model of the centralized governance which emphasizes less, better, efficient, effective, responsive accountable governance, downsizing of bureaucracy and reorganization of Government. The globalization of economy with increasing competition is also an important cause for the growth of this alternative model (NPM) called manageralism, market based public administration/reinventing government which is based on economics and private management. It also discusses the infeasibility of the implementation of the NPM in India due to the bureaucratic-politician self-aggrandizement at the expense of public interest besides other significant factors. Policy makers, research scholars and students of public administration may find the useful. Table of Contents : Preface 1.
