The transformation, albeit, began with the New Public Management (NPM) movement that caught the imagination of the Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. India, too, began to follow the NPM norms, though on a slower note. Globalisation brought in its wake the ever evolving information and communication technologies to the doorsteps of developing world countries and the process of modernising the administrative systems in conformity with the global standards began in earnest. However, conditions have not been that conducive in the developing world, including India, to move from administration to governance on account of parochialism, localisation, authoritarian systems and over all, political culture. - Reproduced.  aInformation technology  aSocial system  aPublic administration  aIndian Journal of Public Administration
