Abstract

While the existing studies on globalization widely cover the realms of economy, politics, society, and culture, the discourse is hardly extended to the domain of public governance. Although there are studies on the globalization or cross-national convergence of contemporary neoliberal models of governance - that is, the New Public Management (NPM) model and its revisionist post-NPM alternatives - there is a relative lack of research on how the globalization phenomenon itself has been a major cause of the emergence of such a neoliberal public sector management. In explaining the main causes of these neoliberal reinventions, most scholars highlight issues like fiscal crisis, state failure, and public sector inefficiency. They rarely consider how the dominant actors of globalization may constitute a major force causing the recent neoliberal transformation of the state and market-led reinvention in state policies and management. This article explicates these linkages - between globalization, state formation, and public sector reform - with specific reference to Southeast Asia.

Neoliberalism represents a set of economic tenets—including the retreat of the state, primacy of market forces, privatization of state enterprises, competition through liberalization and deregulation, promotion of free trade, and so on—which are also reflected in the Washington consensus (Liow 2011, p. 241; Beeson 2001, p. 497).

It should be noted here that while the prevailing causal explanations emphasize problems, such as government failure, public sector inefficiency, fiscal crisis, and external debt (Hope and Chikulo 2000) as major causes behind NPM-type reforms, these arguments are not often sustainable, because these reforms have been embraced more enthusiastically by countries without such problems (e.g., Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and South Korea) than by countries where these problems are often serious (e.g., Myanmar, North Korea, and Cambodia) (Turner 2002).
