Description
The author explores the implications of policy transfer for standard accounts of policy formulation. By presenting original case studies of public management reforms in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore it contributes to our understanding of New Public Management (NPM) outside Western liberal democracies. The book challenges established ideas that the NPM has been globalized based on extrapolations made from the experiences of a handful of Western liberal democracies, notably Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. Moreover, the book contains a multi-state study of the process of policy transfer.
