What’s in a Name? Grasping New Public Governance as a Political-Administrative System

Enhancing Public Innovation through Collaboration, Leadership and New Public Governance

“…New Public Governance is likely to stimulate collaborative innovation and, for those seeking to reap the fruits of this potent innovation method, it is encouraging to see that the ideas and practices associated with New Public Governance are gaining momentum in public sectors throughout Europe (Torfing and Triantafillou, 2013) and in North America (Morgan and Cook, 2014).
