Neuausrichtung der Bundeswehr
,Neuausrichtung‘ ist das Leitkonzept, mit dem die Bundeswehr ihren 2011 eingeleiteten umfassenden Reformprozess bezeichnet. Die Autorinnen und Autoren analysieren und bewerten die Eignung unterschiedlicher Ansätze des New Public Management (NPM) für die Streitkräfte und die Wehrverwaltung aus verschiedenen disziplinären und praxisbezogenen Perspektiven. Ziel ist es, das Verständnis für notwendige Veränderungen zu vertiefen, geeignete Steuerungsinstrumente vorzustellen, Begriffe wissenschaftlich zu klären und damit die Realisierung eines modernen Planungs- und Steuerungssystems für die Bundeswehr zu unterstützen.
