“New Zealand offers a global case study of new public management. In this timely volume, Rodney Scott and Peter Hughes track the subtle but sustained evolution of an extraordinary experiment. Their analysis and personal insights inform a compelling account of how a contractual public service machine became a community of practice marked by autonomy and discretion.” Glyn Davis AC, Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Australia
Peter Hughes is the Public Service Commissioner and Head of the New Zealand Public Service and has been a New Zealand public servant for over 35 years.
