Abstract

This chapter aims to establish the baseline against which to measure and discuss the current changes in public governance. It sets out the general features of liberal representative democracy and public bureaucracy and shows how these classical forms of government have been supplemented with key elements drawn from New Public Management (NPM) (Hood 1991) to produce a new orthodoxy that forms the backbone of public governance in most Western countries and even in some non-Western ones.
