This article offers a critical evaluation of NPM in the context of developments in the UK over the last two decades or so. It approaches this evaluation from a very specific perspective – that of what might be called “paradoxical systems theory”. The author suggests two fundamental polarities in public management. The first is the paradox between centralisation and accountability on the one side and decentralisation and involvement on the other. The second polarity is between rational choice and decision making and judgement and compromise. If these two paradoxical pairs are combined resulting four ‘types’can represent the four paradoxical models which underpin the New Public Management : let the politicians decide; let managers manage; let customers choose; let stakeholders participate. The tensions between them will not go away. The only real issue is how best to manage these contradictions
