Environmental Challenges for Public Value Theory and Practice

Author

  • Brian Coffey

Abstract

Mark Moore’s concept of public value (PV) has emerged as a credible, if not fully formed, alternative to new public management (NPM). Notwithstanding this, PV has also attracted criticism, with Benington and Moore identifying the critique from ‘ecology’ as particularly challenging. Therefore, this paper explores the challenges that environmental issues and thoughts present for PV scholarship and practice. This paper discusses why PV needs to engage with the environment and considers five environment-related themes that present challenges for PV. It is argued that while PV offers considerable potential, it is yet to fully address the challenges that environmental issues and thoughts present.
