A Profession in the Making? Developments in Training and Education for European Public Managers

This paper focuses on the emerging contours of a new European public management profession. In doing so, it seeks to provide a conceptual framework – informed by empirical observations from the current and changing landscape of public management training in Europe - for analyzing the relevant “push-and-pull” factors that shape both the process of Europeanization and the evolution of public management as an integrated academic discipline. In particular, we will shift attention to the emerging network of “professional academic public management institutions” as possible change agents and “transmission belts” effectively working towards European-wide norms, values, and regulatory standards in the business of educating and training future public sector leaders.
