Page 3: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

OverviewConcepts: New Public Management Principles

Social Services- Delivery

Re-inventing Government- Customer vs. Citizen

Subsidiarity- Decentralization

Privatization: In the U.S. and the WorldDefinition:

The process of divesting direct civil service responsibility for the provision of public services or the collection of revenues

Focus here on the World View in the 1980s as defined by the U.S.

Page 5: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization: Grants and Contracts

The Key to Understanding Contracting Out

Prior to 1979: Focus of Contracts was Purchases and construction

Before 1979- Social Services: “Block Grants”

Now Social Services: Contracted Out or Categorical Grants (Tied Grants)

Page 6: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Block Grants vs. Categorial Grants

Community Development Block Grants Categorial Grants

Page 7: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Tendering is the procurement of acquisition of goods and/or services at the best possible total cost of ownership, in the correct quantity and quality, at the right time, in the right place for the direct benefit or use of governments, corporations, or local authorities, generally by a contract.

Context of Privatization: The Reagan-Thatcher Revolutions

Economic Reform and Structural Adjustment:

a. IMF Stabilization and trade liberalization

b. Currency reform, auctions-end of subsidies (end urban privileges) to end radical inflation

Page 9: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Next Target for Auction

The Fundamental Assumption:Private Provision of ServicesUse of conventional markets- No public

sector involvement

Contracts with public agencies- Collection of Garbage; foreign aid and technical assistance

Monopoly Franchises: Hoover Dam; Cable Television; Amtrak

Page 22: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Private Provision of Services

Management Contracts- Public Enterprises such as airlines and hotels

Vouchers- private and charter schools

Consumer Cooperatives- Food clubs

Privatization “Ideal”Key to the provision of efficient and

effective goods and services (Savas)

Need for Exclusion

User Fees, not taxes

The use of tolls

Privatization “Ideal”Key to the provision of efficient and

effective goods and services (Savas)

Need to exclude the CollectiveSome would argue excluding “common pool

goods” from privatization (Clean Air)

Worthy goods (health, education, etc.) are not collective goods

Page 27: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization Reasons(Madsen Pirie)

High Production costs in Government

Low levels of efficiency

Featherbedded labor costs

Pork Barrel Capital Allocations

Page 28: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs
Page 29: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization- Reasons(Madsen Pirie)

Low level consumer input

Poor Maintenance and loss of service

Inability of political leaders to impose cost control

Free Riders

Page 30: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs
Page 31: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization MeansLiquidation

Close down (Load Shedding)

Divestiture

Sell off in whole or in part government shares

Page 32: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Liquidation

Page 33: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Page 35: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

The World Bank Formula, 2007World Bank attempt to privatise

Mumbai's water runs aground: Citizens reject report

Page 36: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization CriticismPrivate sector and NGOs are not

necessarily more effective and efficient than government agencies (Paul Nelson)

Loss of Coverage for social services

Rule of Structural Adjustment- lower health and education statistics

Page 37: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs
Page 38: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization CriticismCan replicate private sector Conditions

within government (Core of Reinventing Government argument--Osborne and Gabler)

“Contracting In”- Government Agency provides services for another Agency, NGO or Private Sector (Generating Revenue) (USDA provides staff for USAID)

Page 39: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Options Under Reinventing Government

Page 40: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization CriticismReinventing Government

Steering rather than RowingCustomer Driven GovernmentCompetition within Government and between units

Key is decentralization--not privatization

Page 41: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Reinventing Government a world wide phenomenon (Korea)

Page 42: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization CriticismPrivatization enhances corruption

Enhanced by cultural differences

Gifts vs. Kickbacks

Corruption as lobbying the Executive (Klitgaard)

Page 43: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Problems with Administrative Reform: International Examples

1. Departments buy and sell goods & services- statistics in Zaire/Congo or setting up “privatization networks” to acquire state properties.

2. Sub-economic salaries: offices, houses and telephones- buying soap and selling chickens. International salaries for essential workers (Consulting Practices)

Page 44: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Privatization in LDCs

Page 45: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs

Problems with PrivatizationReality- The absence of recurrent budgets

in LDCs

Activity (economy) driven by technical assistance projects the only game in town

NGOs and for profit contractors and consulting firms take the jobs

Result: Privatization means internationalization

Page 46: PIA PIA  2000- Introduction to Public Affairs
