New Public Management: The Story Continues
本文考察新公共管理（NPM）在英国的现状，发现无论是新工党政府（1997-2010）还是2010-2015年联合政府，其政策都延续并强化了NPM理念，全球金融危机反而加剧了这一趋势，表明NPM并未过时。
Abstract New Public Management (NPM) has aroused significant interest amongst academe, policy makers and practitioners, since its first articulation in the seminal articles by Hood (1991 and 1995). However, in the 21 st century, a body of opinion has developed which asserts that the NPM is passé . This paper seeks to determine the contemporary status of NPM in the context of the UK, one of the early adopters of NPM. Close inspection of UK Government policy underlines the importance of NPM ideas in the New Labour Government modernisation policy (1997‐2010). Furthermore, the policy actions of the 2010–2015 UK Coalition Government reveal that the global financial crisis intensified the drive for NPM in the UK's public sector. This discussion reveals no evidence in support of the demise of NPM.
