Abstract

In the aftermath of the 14th International Symposium on Public Management in Dresden in July 2014, this thematic issue presents peer-reviewed conference contributions on Public Governance to a wider audience. At the outset, we should pause to examine the meaning of the words - some old and some new - that have become the familiar lexicon of the New Public Management: government, governance, accountability and transparency. At the same time, we should remind ourselves that these terms and their modus operandi are designed with two broad objectives in mind:
1. as far as possible, to involve the public in an understanding of policy and to ensure that public policy is based on research and evidence in the context of the public interest;
2. that public managers will be in a position to understand best how to implement public policy and that the “governors” will be in a position to evaluate the performance of public managers in achieving the goals of public policy.
