Germany

In: New Public Managers in Europe

Abstract

The present debate on public management and public managers in Germany stems partly from the financial constraints which federal, state and local authorities are facing. Without the dramatic financial problems, politicians, top administrators and unions would be less willing to modernize the traditional bureaucratic system. As well as financial problems the public sector also has to deal with other challenges such as shifts in public duties from regulatory functions to public service delivery (requiring different organizational structures), demographic changes (the proportion of people over 60 will nearly double in the next three decades), with changing values (from materialism to post-materialism), and with an increasingly competitive international environment.
