New Public Management

Digital Era Governance

its intellectual and innovation momentum is building, its coherence and acceptance as a quasi-paradigm is expanding, and its growth is continuing under potentially adverse austerity conditions

New public management system also proposed a more decentralized control of resources and exploring other service delivery models to achieve better results, including a quasi-market structure where public and private service providers competed with each other in an attempt to provide better and faster services.

Governance

Governance

all processes of governing, the institutions, processes and practices through which issues of common concern are decided upon and regulated. "Governance is as old as government (Pierre & Peters, 2000, p.18)." 1.Governance is the function or process, government is the structure. 2. The new concept affirms that the function today is shared by other nongovernmental or nonstate structures- namely the market, civil society, and networks. OTHER DEFINITIONS: Governance is discussed in terms of common kinds of structures, processes, and analytical framework (Pierre and Peters, 2000) Governance is the exercise of political, economic, and administrative authority to manage a nation’s affairs. It embraces all of the methods- good and badthat societies use to distribute power and manage public resources and problems (Cariño, 2000)

Governmentality

Foucault's Philosophy

Governmentality

Michel Foucault

Coined by Michel Foucault, a social historian and philosopher, to depict the evolution of the modern state in the West, with emphasis on its forms of knowledge and study methods. By governmentality, Foucault (1978/1991b) meant three things: Firstly- which has as its target population, as its principal form of knowledge political economy, and its essential means apparatuses of security. Secondly- long-term tendency leading to the preeminence of government over all forms of power (“sovereignty, discipline, etc.” ) resulting in the formation of a series of government apparatus and the development of “a whole complex of saviors [knowledges] Thirdly- transformation of the medieval “state of justice” into “the administrative state during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, ” and subsequently into the “governmentalized” state

Governmentality

Michel Foucault

• In merging ‘government’ and ‘mentality’, Foucault was referring to a

fusion of new government technologies with “a new political rationality,a specific combination of governing techniques and rationalities, typicalof the modern, liberal period”. The ‘mentality’ part refers to theprevailing ideas, or ideology, guiding state policy and actions.

• A related goal shift was the reorientation of government from territory to

“population”. Earlier, keeping his territory had been priority for thesovereign, and its inhabitants, resources, and other features were onlysecondary variables. But with governmentality social well-being andeverything else about a jurisdiction’s population was primary, and theterritory and its other attributes became the variables.

E-Governmentality

He further insists that one kind of power did not replace chronologically another, but that modern power is exercised within the triangle of sovereignty, discipline and liberal government (Foucault, Citation2009, p. 107).

Michel Foucault

Foucault initially identifies the new mechanisms of power as working on biological indicators, he quickly realises that these technologies have a much broader application (Foucault, Citation2008, pp. 21–22)

Conclusion: Toward E-Governmentality

Conclusion

Thank you and god bless!

Proverbs 3:6

Governance

all processes of governing, the institutions, processes and practices through which issues of common concern are decided upon and regulated. "Governance is as old as government (Pierre & Peters, 2000, p.18)."

PUBLIC GOVERNANCE

TRADITIONAL SOCIETY

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

MODERN SOCIETY

"the involvement of sectors beyond the state in the management of public affairs"

Governance is not something the state does to society, but the way society itself, and the individuals who compose it, regulate all the different aspects of their collective life"

Transnational Corporations

a reminder that "governmet" is no longer the most important player in governance and development.
