On the Study of Public Values – Danish Experiences

Summary/Abstract: The notion of public values has been increasingly important in public sector reform and public management in most Western countries for many reasons. Political-administrative scandals have promoted an interest in codes of ethics for civil servants and a revival of judicial values. New management techniques such as value-based management have caused a focus on values. Years of Neo-liberalism and New Public Management oriented reforms have created a need for considering values other than efficiency and more generally a need for re-thinking the normative basis of the public sector (Rhodes, 1987; Smith, 1991; Stewart & Walsh, 1992; Olsen, 1993; Butler, 1994; Greenaway, 1995; Frederickson, 1997; Lundquist, 2001). Further, internationalisation and trans-nationalisation of public organisations, the increasing multi-culturalism in many states and the globalisation of the “good governance” discourse adds to value complexity.
