Marketization of Public Services in Germany

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: This article explores the very limited introduction of competitive mechanisms and of market or quasi-market instruments in the German public sector. Furthermore, it analyzes the role, trends and effects of introducing market-oriented incentives into the discourse on reforming state and administration in Germany. The article describes the general function of marketization and the different variants of competition in actual reform programs in several policy sectors. Two case studies that demonstrate "good practice” are assessed. Finally, the article analyzes some possible effects of increasing marketization in Germany.
