Das Neue Steuerungsmodell in Deutschland ist in besonderem Maße von einem inhärenten theoretischen Widerspruch geprägt. Die tradierten Entscheidungsstrukturen, in denen nutzenmaximierende Fachverwaltungen und Politiker zur Budgetexpansion tendieren, werden aus einer Rational-Choice-Perspektive kritisiert.

Nach 15-jähriger Implementationspraxis in Deutschland kann konstatiert werden, dass das Neue Steuerungsmodell auch an diesem Widerspruch auf konzeptioneller Ebene gescheitert ist. Das Scheitern kann aus einer konsequenten Rational-Choice-Perspektive als eine "rationale Abwahl" im Vollzug interpretiert werden.... view less

But on the other hand, when presenting the New Steering Model, far more optimistic assumptions about human behaviour are taken for granted. Main actors are expected to adapt to their newly defined roles and to endorse the primacy of budget consolidation. 15 years after the beginning of the New Steering Model's implementation, its miscarriage may be partially ascribed to this inherent contradiction.... view less
