Abstract
Forces of globalisation tend towards shaping social phenomena uniformly due to the emergence of one global market place; because of the formation of very large political and economical unions and, because of information technology, many states now frame their legislation in much the same way. At the same time many states adopt new forms of public management strategies. These often are rooted in the American/British forms of New Public Management. But local conditions and local cultures are the foundation, the basis and the cornerstones for the lives and relationships everywhere.
