16. EVALUATION OF NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT REFORMS IN SWITZERLAND: EMPIRICAL RESULTS AND REFLECTIONS ON METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the empirical results of NPM evaluations in Switzerland. A number of evaluation studies are available to perform this task. Second, we compare the results of NPM reforms in Switzerland with those from abroad. For the purposes of the comparison we use the Pollitt and Bouckaert (2000) overview of the results of NPM projects in ten countries. We devote the third part of the chapter to methodological considerations for evaluation of public management reform.
