Canadian Public Service

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses public service administration in Canada. The two models that are examined are new public management and the emerging governance model. It is argued at the end of the paper that new public management works better for Canada. The paper explains that this is because it needs a strong centralized government.

From the Paper:

"Public service administration systems have been changing on a fundamental level. While public service administration and governance in most countries was seen in a relatively straight forward way, new models of governance and public service administration have been developing. These models tend to look at public service administration and governance in more complex and inclusive ways. For example, in "Public Service Ethics in a Changing World" Alan Lawton states; The domains of the private corporation and of public service are merging in western democracies. Increasingly the so-called public sector is becoming more business-like, with the introduction of competition, output measures and corporate management styles.""
