主講人簡介：
Paolo Urio was Dean of the Geneva Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences from 1989 to1995. In 1971 Paolo Urio began teaching and research activities within the Geneva Department of Political Science covering several topics in the general domains of public administration, public management, and decision-making and policy analysis in Switzerland, i.e. national defence, parliamentary control, land use planning, highways construction, housing, the budgetary process, organizational learning and innovation in public health policy, as well as the political culture of senior Swiss civil servants. Since the mid-1980s has devoted a special attention to the development of the so-called New Public Management in the West. In 1997 he was entrusted by the Swiss Government with the direction of a training programme for Chinese senior civil servants and Party senior cadres and developed several cooperation projects with Chinese Universities and published three books dealing (in whole or in part) with the reforms China has introduced since the end of the Mao era.
內容簡介：
The purpose of the conference is to analyze the impact of neoliberal public policies upon contemporary societies both in China and in the West, i.e. in particular the deterioration of ecnomic income distribution, and the increase of poverty rates. First I will explain the logic of New Public Management (NPM), i.e. one of the two the armed wings of Neoliberalism (the other armed wing being the Washington Consensus).Second, I will discuss the difference between market economy and capitalism. Third I will present some empirical data for both China and the West, showing the negative impact of New Public Management, especially when it is implemented on a large scale (e.g. as in USA and in UK) Finally, I will put forward some suggestions about what could be done in China to correct the negative economic impact of NPM, especially after the change of leadership that occurred in November 2012.
