Sur “From Neoliberalism and New Public Management to Social Impact Bonds: a new role of for the State in the post-Covid scenario”
Présentation de l’intervention :
In the post-Covid-19 scenario, many Governments are again considering what measures to take to cut public spending to reduce the deficit and public debt. A radically different consensus on the State’s appropriate role in the economy and the optimum way to manage economic activity took hold from the seventies (Alonso et al., 2015). Starting in the UK (Vickers and Yarrow, 1988), and then spreading to the rest of Europe over the next two decades, a profound reform of the public sector was set in place (Clifton et al., 2003, 2006). This included sweeping privatization, liberalization, and deregulation programs (Alonso et al., 2015). Neoliberalism and austerity increasingly informed policies and practices designed to encourage the introduction of private sector management criteria into public administration, believing that a fully competitive market is most effective because private companies are more efficient than the government (Harvey, 2006; Robison, 2006). Such ideas came to be labeled New Public Mangament (NPM). More in detail, NPM emerged as the response to the growing perception that the public sector was too inefficient, and its growth was getting out of control (Alonso et al., 2015). Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are a procurement model – based on a mix of contracting out, private finance capital, and payment-by-results (PBR) – used for publicly funded social service delivery in several policies and welfare areas, including health, education, housing, social exclusion, and criminal justice (Hajer, 2020). SIBs involve cooperation between private sector financial actors (banks, investment funds, or charities), the public sector (central government or local authorities), and social services providers (NGOs, social businesses, or regular private firms) (Le Pendeven, 2019).
This presentation will be organized around two main blocks. The first will clarify the connections between the concepts and constructs of neoliberalism and of NPM, while the second will explore the role of SIBs as a policy strategy for addressing the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
