In our reforming public institutions it sometimes feels as though
the very ground of social and political contracts is shifting. The
economic revolution embraced by neo-liberals and neo-conservatives
is paralleled by a governance revolution in those same institutions
which were designed to protect us from historical swings and
ideological roundabouts. Our public institutions - for the most
part the public sector and its professional groups - in the eyes of
some provided stability, while for others they were a brake on
change. Now, however, they have become conduits for political
change and reform. We live in an institutional world now dubbed the
New Public Management (NPM). In this new landscape evaluators might
have to think afresh about how to position ourselves in relation to
institutional ethics and the pursuit of social justice. In this
volume contributors give us a start in thinking through such a
repositioning, some within the values framework of NPM, others as
external observers.
