Public management has been part of the globalization process as attested by public sector reform models such as the New Public Management in the late 1980s and Public Governance in the early 1990s that have affected, although with different pace and approaches, almost every country in the world.
In developed countries, the mid-1970s crisis stimulated an international conversation, led by the OECD Public Management Committee that public sector reform should be a policy field in its own right. In developing countries, development organizations such as the UNDP and the World Bank realized that economic performance depended on an effective and efficient public sector and adopted and promoted the New Public Management model as well. Finally, also post-communism countries joined the managerial wave of modernization.
While the current global economic crisis has highlighted the fact once again that economic performance hinges on an effective public sector, models of reform have changed shifting from market-type mechanisms to networked approaches.
The course examines both the theoretical frameworks underlying public sector reforms in the past thirty years and the empirical evidence gathered so far.
Issues addressed during the course refer to the way in which globalization affects structure and purpose of governments, administrative reforms implemented to respond to globalization and their impact. Emerging theories guiding public management at the global level will also be discussed such as networks and public-private partnerships, co-production and open innovation. The issues of trust in government, ethics, conflicts of interest and fight of corruption will be discussed.

 

Teaching method
The course includes lectures, case study discussions involving out of the class readings, simulations and group work on selected problems, followed by presentation of main findings.
This course will provide students with a mixture of theoretical and class discussion on global trends as they relate to public management and public administration.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Describe, explain and provide a critical assessment of public management reforms at the global level.
• Analyse international policy networks around public sector reform and policy dynamics.
