Thatcherism: political ideology and practical consequences on the system and funtioning of public administraton

Rad započinje analizom političke atmosfere Velike Britanije koja je prethodila tačerizmu te pregledom političkih aktivnosti iz koje je tačerizam krenuo. U središnjem dijelu se uz objašnjenje značenja ideologije neoliberalizma i doktrine novog javnog menadžmenta, analiziraju najznačajnije reforme javne uprave Velike Britanije s kraja sedamdesetih i početka osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, a sve u odnosu sa svjetonazorom premijerke Margaret Thatcher. Tačerizam se opisuje kroz primjenu ideja, praktičnih metoda i tehnika doktrine novog javnog menadžmenta, neoliberalizma, neokonzervatizma, otvorenju države tržišnim aktivnostima i poticanje konkurencije, denacionalizacije i privatizacije. Paralelno se prikazuje politička uloga Thatcher te definiraju razlozi koji potiču radikalne izmjene državnog sustava jer, iako poglavito ekonomske prirode, dubljom analizom se uspostavlja da je tačerizam i osobni pokret.Paper starts with an analysis of the political atmosphere in Great Britain that preceded thatcherism and an overview of the political activities from which thatcherism started. In the central part, in addition to explaining the meaning oof neoliberalism and the doctrine of new public management, the most significant public administration reforms in Great Britain from the late seventies and early eighties are analyzed, all in relation to the worldview of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Thatcherism is described through the application of ideas, practical methods and techniques of the doctrine new public management, neoliberalism, neoconservatism, the opening of the state to market activities and the encouragement of competition, denationalization and privatization. At the same time, the political role of Thatcher is presented and the reasons that encourage radical changes in the state system are defined because, although mainly of an economic nature, a deeper analysis establishes that thatcherism is also a personal movement
