This title was first published in 2001. The author provides a fresh perspective of 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 is an important addition to our understanding of the development of New Public Management (NPM) outside Western liberal democracies. This book challenges established ideas that the NPM has been globalized based on extrapolations made from experiences of a handful of Western liberal democracies, notably Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US. Moreover, the book contains the first multi-state study of the process of policy transfer. Particularly useful for political scientists, business and management scholars, academics of international relations and economics.
