Public sector innovation in a context of radical populism
本文探讨激进民粹主义如何影响公共部门创新,以特朗普政府为例说明其削弱了创新因素,并比较欧洲民粹主义因执政联盟限制而影响较小,最后提出研究建议。
This article discusses the effect of radical populism on public sector innovation. It begins by considering the origins and components of radical populism and of public sector innovation. It is shown that the Trump Administration has been undercutting each of the factors research suggests facilitate public sector innovation. While radical populists have gained ground in Europe, they are constrained by being part of governing coalitions, and have a more limited policy agenda, primarily focused on reducing immigration. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research on the effect of populism on public sector innovation, both in the US and Europe.
