This symposium assesses Mexico's recent experiments with implementing new public management (NPM) reforms. The introduction describes Mexico's characteristics, summarizes the history of NPM implementation there, and explores its underlying political and administrative rationale. Next, it introduces the three Mexican contributors and summarizes their respective presentations. Finally, it predicts the eventual outcome of NPM implementation in Mexico based on the critical issues that affect Mexican development, indicators for assessing progress, and the key role of public administration in the Mexican reform process.
