Description

Explore the shifting landscape of administrative sciences with New Public Management in Africa: Emerging Issues and Lessons. Published by Routledge, this text examines the global turn toward managerial perspectives that began in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. As public services aim to become more efficient, responsible, and client-oriented, the implementation of New Public Management (NPM) often moves forward with high levels of optimism. However, these fundamental reforms frequently encounter challenges when they overlook the specific political and cultural contexts of the regions where they are applied. This book addresses these complexities by looking at how NPM reforms function within the African continent. This resource is essential for those studying government and politics, as it provides a deep look into the practical realities of administrative reform. It moves beyond theoretical promises to look at the actual impact of these management-driven changes on public service delivery and institutional structures.
