Path-dependency of reforms in Latvia: a way towards new public governance
2017
Reinholde, I., University of Latvia, Riga (Latvia)
Latvia has been one of the countries in Europe in strong favour of NPM (New Public Management) since the mid-1990s. The aim of the article is to analyse the Latvian public administration as a case study to find out whether there exists a link between the volume of an experienced NPM and NPG (New Public Governance) applied afterwards. In order to explain the links between these two phenomena, a path-dependence approach will be applied. It was concluded that the path-dependence and organisational lock in is so strong that Latvia continues to modernise administration in shoes of NPM with certain impact of other models or paradigms.
