ABSTRACT
The article proposes to examine the new public management in its historical totality, as a phenomenon emanated from the emergence of neoliberalism in the 20th century. In particular, it examines the role of that management as an instrument of the state reforms proposed by neoliberalism between 1990 and 2010, highlighting its doctrinal and instrumental aspects. In short, emphasizes the incorporation of economic concepts introduced by the new public management in the field of study of public administration.
