Reinventing Government

The New Zealand public management model is a product of 1980s and 1990s enthusiasm for replacing hierarchy and centralised bureaucracies with contracts and market-like methods for delivering public services. Fervour for change from tradition is illustrated by the titles of these books published in 1992, a high-water mark for public sector reform in New Zealand: Liberation Management (Peters, 1992), Reinventing Government (Osborne and Gaebler, 1992) and Breaking through Bureaucracy (Barzelay, 1992).
