“…Creating relationships based on collective interest and the common good is desirable in NPG-related contexts as it is value-centered. One of the premises of this concept is that the government should promote the greater good (Morgan and Shinn, 2014). This shall be confronted with Moore's original formulation of "public value" (Moore, 1994) and incorporated into Liddle's definition of NPG (Liddle, 2018(Liddle, , 2021.…”

“…Even though socioeconomic objectives are increasingly achieved through NPG-driven networks of actors and organizations as well as various partnerships, the role of the very functioning government is diminished, as is its legitimacy and regulatory power. NPG is hence seen to keep various ideals alive inside the political system (Morgan and Shinn, 2014). Liddle (2018) notes that an emphasis on administrative practices, such as procurement procedures, community amenities and collaborative governance, as well as the principles that drive them, such as civic capacity, public benefits, equality and government size, is also lacking from NPG investigations.…”

“…Liddle (2018) notes that an emphasis on administrative practices, such as procurement procedures, community amenities and collaborative governance, as well as the principles that drive them, such as civic capacity, public benefits, equality and government size, is also lacking from NPG investigations. Furthermore, NPG reinterprets public officials as ruling actors with a sense of obligation for the state, the polity and the societal, political and civic structures that co-produce common good rather than as simply instrumental agents of expediency (Morgan and Shinn, 2014). The new forms of governance, which result from the inter-subjective relationality mentioned before, may present a challenge to governments from even the most contemporary democracies.…”

PurposeThe paper's primary purpose is to define and characterize the innovative concept in public management theory, New Public Governance (NPG), from its theoretical framework and the view of public management institutions. The second objective is to create a logical framework to explain this notion. The broader role of this paper is to expand the understanding of this contemporary public management trend.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological approach of the authors' research is based on a deep understanding of theoretical sources, particularly the scientific precursors in the literature surrounding the NPG theory. The authors used the following methods to achieve the paper's goals: critical thematic literature review and synthetic comparative analysis.FindingsIn regards to scientific analysis, the goals of NPG were achieved, considering that its concept and main characteristics were displayed in definitional terms as a trend in public management, emphasizing institutional cooperation and co-production, having strengths in social inclusion and weaknesses in the lack of participatory experience of the actors. Additionally, the authors created the original 6-CO coherent conceptual framework describing the flows in the NPG operation based on theoretical foundations. The analysis of theoretical sources not only allowed the collection of common and disconnected features of the reasoning behind the definition and depth of the NPG but also insufficient development of the theory in existing sources.Originality/valueThe paper demonstrates critical new scholarship surrounding the NPG theory because it (1) applies one of the latest trends in public management, (2) juxtaposes various academics' understanding of the concept and, most importantly, (3) advances the theory of NPG with the original 6-CO coherent conceptual framework as a practical implication of the theory originator.
