Abstract
FILHO, Joaquim Rubens Fontes and PIMENTA, Roberto da Costa. Practices of public administration in the cultural context of Portuguese speaking countries. RGPLP [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.1, pp.31-48. ISSN 1645-4464.
This article aims to reflect on a research agenda with a view to assessing the adequacy of the new models and practices of public administration models to the context of the Community of Portuguese speaking countries (in Portuguese, CPLP). Recent studies indicate a depletion trend of the New Public Management (NPM) paradigm, based on efficiency, business techniques and focus on control results, and the emergence of a logic based on public governance, focusing on co-production mechanisms, the creation of networks and non-hierarchical processes, tacit agreements with the various actors in society and, in particular, the principle of public value. In this article, we suggest a research agenda focused on the analysis of the elements that influence the application of the NPG in the context of the CPLP and the possible barriers to their effective implementation, also advancing the discussion about the prospect of overcoming these barriers.
