This book analyses the superintendent position and relations and
shows how the well-known policy umbrella, the New Public Management
(NPM), is being adapted to national contexts. School
superintendents are civil servants at the heart of the governance
of municipal education. Educational governance in the Nordic
countries - Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden - is currently
undergoing comprehensive restructuring and reconceptualisation at
the hands of national governments influenced by transnational
agencies. Our analyses of the superintendent position and relations
show that the well-known policy umbrella, the New Public Management
(NPM), is moving towards focusing on soft governance and social
technologies as the preferred means of influences. Thus we rename
it New Public Governance (NPG).
