HAS CANADA ADOPTED THE NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT?
本文回顾新公共管理定义，依据Kernaghan和Charih的分类及Loeffler的定义，评估加拿大是否采纳了新公共管理，发现加拿大在政府重组、管理方法变革和联邦公共部门缩减方面与英国和新西兰相当。
Abstract 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.
