Developing Governance: Implications for Future Public Sector Reform

Abstract
The study of administrative management has traditionally focused on the scope of state power. Initially, the state exercised a singular form of governmental power. However, there has been a recent shift from state-centric power to governance, leading to three distinct waves of change. The first wave introduced network-based governance arrangements. The second wave brought about super-government arrangements. The third wave represents a move away from centralized governance. Currently, the first and second waves have completely subsided, giving rise to the third wave of decentralized administrative management. Osborne's study indicates that all three waves occur and overlap, revealing the characteristics of service delivery systems in three formats: (1) Traditional Public Administration (PA), (2) New Public Management (NPM), and (3) New Public Governance (NPG). These formats serve as guidelines for future public sector reform.
