New public management is a topical phrase to describe how management techniques from the private sector are now being applied to public services. This is a completely up-to-date overview of the main theoretical models of public sector management, and examines the key changes that have occurred as more and more public services are contracted out to private organisations, as the public sector itself grapples with 'internal markets'. Drawing on economics, organisational theory and poliltics, Jan-Erik Lane presents new public management from an analytical perspective. This book uses game theory and empirical studies in order to assess the pros and cons of new public management.Jan-Erik Lane is the author of 'New Public Management: An Introduction', published 2000 under ISBN 9780415231862 and ISBN 0415231868.
