BOTTICELLI, Sebastián. The neoliberal tendency in the new public management: To govern through the market. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.677-692. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article aims to examine the assumptions and implications of New Public Management. Because of the recommendation of international financial institutions, this line of administrative thinking had a large degree of dissemination in the last decade of the twentieth century and influenced several state reform processes that were experienced in Latin America. Based on this review, it will be shown that the usual characterization that defines the neoliberal tendency as a mere contraction of the size of the structures of public administration does not sufficiently considered the changes in the logic used by the State to redefined its forms of intervention in the social dynamics. The present work hopes to configure new criteria for the critical inquiry of our current time attending to the persistence of the past in our ways to understand the world and act on it.
