HAS CANADA ADOPTED THE NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT?
本文评估加拿大是否采纳新公共管理，发现其重组政府机构、改变管理方法并大幅削减联邦公共部门，支出削减力度堪比英国和新西兰。
Following review of definitions of New Public Management (NPM), the paper assesses whether Canada has adopted the NPM, organized by Kernaghan and Charih's (1997) categories and using Loeffler's (1997) definition. Canada has reorganized the machinery of government, changed management methods and reduced the federal public sector substantially. Despite high debt, Canada's federal government reduced its expenditures and/or public service as much or more than the UK and New Zealand. Its expenditures as a proportion of GDP are now similar to those of the UK and New Zealand, the major proponents of NPM.
