A comparative review of the doctrine " The New Public Management " in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark and the Republic of Croatia

Tema ovog rada je komparativni prikaz doktrine novog javnog menadžmenta u Velikoj Britaniji, Njemačkoj, Danskoj i Republici Hrvatskoj. Autor prikazuje upravne reforme u navedenim državama, te kako su one provedene implementirajući novi javni menadžment. Za komparativni prikaz u radu, autor se služio stručnom literaturom, pravnim propisima, te znanstvenim člancima objavljenjim na web stranicama i izvješćima supranacionalnih organizacija. U radu autor prikazuje reforme javne uprave s aspekta same organizacije, zapošljavanja, djelovanja, i rezultat reforme. Autor nakon komparacije reformi javnih uprava navedenih država dolazi do zaključka da hrvatska javna uprava ima mnogo nedostataka naspram britanske, njemačke i danske javne uprave. U radu se prikazuje koji postupci bi mogli biti uzor prema reformi hrvatske javne uprave, budući da je ona neučinkovita, a svojom veličinom predstavlja velike troškove.The subject of this paper is a comparative review of "The new public management" doctrine in the UK, Germany, Denmark and the Republic of Croatia. Not only the administrative reforms in these countries, but also the way they are implemented into the system and how they are accomplished by putting the concept of the new public management into action are presented. For the comparative overview of the paper, professional literature, legal regulations, scientific articles published on the websites and reports of the supranational organizations have been used. Furthermore, the public administration reforms in terms of the organization, employment, actions, and the results of these reforms are presented. After having compared the reform of public administration between these countries, the following conclusion can be reached: Croatian public administration has many shortcomings compared to the British, German and Danish public administration. This paper shows that the procedures in administrative reforms in the UK, Germany and Denmark could be a role model to the Croatian public administration reform since Croatian public administration is inefficient and its size represents a large expenditure
