“…The results revealed that transparency, empowerment, and accountability have a positive relationship with the efficiency of the local governance system. Out of the three discussed indicators of CP, the results show that to increase the effectiveness of local government, the empowerment of citizens would play the most crucial role.Our results are in line with the views ofMohamad et al (2012), Ahmad andTalib (2011),Ahmad and Talib (2015),Tsujinaka et al (2013), andWahid et al (2017) who agreed to strengthen community empowerment mechanisms at first to increase the effectiveness of local good governance.…”

The current study is designed to explore the level of Citizens' Participation (CP) in the local governance system of Pakistan. The paper presents evidence from a case study of the health and sanitation sectors of a district by employing a quantitative research method. The techniques involve a survey conducted with 367 citizens of Pakistan. The paper has examined the relationship between indicators of CP (transparency, empowerment, and accountability) and effectiveness of local governance systems with the mediating role of local bureaucracy's efficacy and the moderating role of the influence of locally elected politicians. The findings have shown that CP has a very strong relationship with the effectiveness of local governance systems. The results revealed that transparency, empowerment, and accountability have a positive relationship with the efficiency of the local governance system. Overall, our study suggests that there are strong implications for citizens' participation as it increases the effectiveness of local governance systems with a particular reference to the local health and sanitation system.

“…For example, collaboration is sometimes seen as a characteristic of post‐NPM. However, Japan has long history of collaboration exhibited in network organisations of residents, the chonaikai or community council (Tsujinaka, Ahmed, & Kobashi, ). In the Meiji Era of the 19th century, joint associations established by several local governments provided residents with services including firefighting, water, education, and medical care.…”

Citizen perceptions of public management: Hybridisation and post‐new public management in Japan and New Zealand

An older body of research claims variously: a world‐wide transformation from new public management (NPM) to new public governance or post new public management (post‐NPM); a ‘layering’, where new management rhetoric and techniques are layered upon existing ones; or a ‘hybridisation’ synthesised from competing systems. More recent studies, particularly in central and Eastern Europe, suggest a nuanced and context‐specific degree of transformation. Influenced by a growing research interest in citizen perceptions of public management, this study expands this more nuanced approach by surveying local government public management perceptions of 1,140 New Zealand and 3,100 Japanese citizen online survey respondents. Using principal component analysis, we show both New Zealand and Japan exhibit degrees of hybridisation of public management paradigms, with Japan exhibiting a higher degree of eclecticism.

“…Local government also introduced NPM instruments such as performance measurement and accrual accounting (Pallot and Yamamoto 2001) The other special feature is the existence of a social network of civil society organizations (CSO). The combination of high institutionalization and high collaboration in Tokyo is quite distinct from that in other capital cities in Asia (Tsujinaka et al 2013). CSOs, such as the Neighborhood Association (chonaikai), have played an agent role in local government, and in the pre-war period and during the war there was a mutual monitoring organization, which supported local government in its role as an intermediary institution between central government and the local people (Pekkanen 2006).…”

The theme in this article is managerial or administrative changes in municipalities seen from the perceptions of citizens. It's asked what characterize these changes, whether they are showing an interrelated and hybrid pattern, and whether the perceptions are varying depending on individual demographic characteristics or contextual factors related to their communities and the country they are living in. The data used are from surveys in Japan and Norway in 2015-2016. The main results indicate that the change or reform measures are indeed interrelated and hybrid. They don't vary much related to individual characteristics, except for political attitudes, but more so related to the size of their municipalities, year of local residency and local political activities. Japan and Norway have also marked different profiles regarding the main perceptions of the citizens, reflecting major structural and cultural differences
