New tendencies in public administration: from the new public management (NPM) and new governance (NG) to e-government

Abstract

This article aims to realize an analysis on the current public administration through the prism of new explanatory theories: The New Governance (NG) and the New Public Management (NPM), beyond the classical bureaucratic theories, the sociological theories, etc. The article is based on a qualitative analysis of the local public administrative system: trying to identify whether the elements of e-government are present at this level, as well as what their role and their necessity are at the publicadministrative level by correspondence with the new theories applied, presented above: NG and NPM.
