Marketisation models: How much should government use internal markets and public procurement?

Public management and government are often considered as different faces of the same thing, namely, authority. Government enacts decisions, laws and budgets, and it employs agencies to put them into practice, whether it is called “execution” or “implementation”. Modern government relies upon legalrational authority, stated Weber. And as long as public management was approached in terms of formal organisation and planning, it was basically true that it was, in essence, the exercise of authority.
