| الملخص: | Consulting and the state : a comparative analysis of supply and demand
This article examines the growing importance of management consultants in state
reform from the point of view of supply and demand. Although they vary from one
country to another, the size of the state, the openness of the consulting system in matters
of policy-making, and the reforms inspired by New Public Management, have all
contributed to the increase in demand for consulting services within public administration. On the supply side, the author examines three factors : the development of the
consulting industry, the marketing strategies used by consultants to promote their
products, and finally the efforts at representation made by consultants to build networks
of contacts with government decision-makers. If consultants have contributed to the
“privatisation” of government, it is paradoxical to note that their more or less intimate
relationship with the government has turned them into less “private” and more “public”
actors than they were previously. |
