NPM (2.0) - A BLAST FROM THE PAST

• This paper concerns (re)emerging discourses concerning political and administrative organization in pre- and post-NPM contexts. The policy analysis presented in this paper draws on a framework understood through dimension of reorganization in terms of market and management, positing the questions of (i) which problems are being identified and (ii) how solutions are being addressed during two different time periods. It is demonstrated how discourses concerning “slow government” and “excessive regulation” (re)emerges as problems, and that the addressed solutions are similar over time. Following this, it is argued that an era of NPM 2.0 emerges, where in political and administrative organization will react to similar problems and cope through similar solutions as has been done before.
