Examines the debate surrounding new public management (NPM), & analyzes representative books on the topic: Christopher Hood & Michael Jackson's La argumentacion administrativa: estudio introductorio de Ricardo Uvalle (The Administrative Argument: Introductory Study of Ricardo Uvalle, 1997); & Omar Guerrero Orozco's Del estado gerencial al estado civico(From Management State to Civic State). Papers presented in two international congresses are also considered: the first, held Sept 1988 in Paris, France, by the International Instit of Administrative Sciences; & the second, held Oct 1998 in Madrid, Spain, by the Development Administration Latin American Congress. In both, scholars presented arguments in favor & against NPM. To some, NPM represents the administrative side of structural adjustment programs, which have shown that maximizing earnings prevails over a just redistribution of wealth, one of the main concerns in Latin America. Some other scholars believe that NPM is an opportunity to have a more efficient government where productivity & efficacy are to be achieved both in business & in government affairs. 17 References.

This article presents a discussion of the conceptualization of "government performance" in the Political Science literature & the way this construct is translated in four international studies by the World Bank, the Central European Bank, the Dutch government & the World Economic Forum. The analysis of the four studies shows the difficulties in the empirical development of some of the conceptualization lines & the trend to use public opinion data & aggregated societal results in sectors such as economic growth, health or education. The concern to pursue an objective evaluation of comparative government performance, understood as quality of public management, can be addressed, either substituting this concept by the administrations pro-activity to adopt some public reforms or producing better comparative data at the level of OECD on key processes in the production of some public services.
