“公共管理”并不是“重塑政府”的理论 ,也不是行政学发展的一个新的理论范式。在某种意义上 ,它恰恰是西方的工具主义精神的复辟。从学科结构上来看 ,公共管理的概念所表明的只是与“行政管理”、“公共行政”有所不同的研究领域。如果把公共管理作为一种理论来加以介绍和建构的话 ,是有着方向性的错误的 ,但是 ,如果把公共管理的问题作为一个学科来建设 ,则是可行的。 “Public management” is not a theory of “reshaping the government,” nor is it a new theoretical paradigm for the development of administration. In a sense, it is exactly the restoration of Western instrumentalism. From the perspective of disciplinary structure, the concept of public management only shows the research fields that are different from “administration” and “public administration”. If public administration as a theory to introduce and construct it is directional error, but if the issue of public management as a discipline to build, it is feasible.
