Abstract

The Withdrawal Agreement concluded between the European Union and the United Kingdom (2016 referendum and 2018 decisive progress) opened space to change from the English model of Public Administration (New Public Management [NPM]) to the American model (New Public Service [NPS]) to reduce the growth of communism via authoritarian governments. According to several scholars, the NPM has generated elevated levelsof corruption (isolation of the knowledge in the top of the public administration along with government). The NPS changes the existing power structures and promotes a more equitable distribution of knowledge and decision-making. For novelty and originality, this article proposes a review of the NPS model through knowledge creation and sharing practices(Knowledge Management [KM]), as well as knowledge analysis (Organizational Intelligence [OI]) and application practices (Cultural Intelligence [CI]). The work concludes that KM, OI and CI are the missing elements for NPS to replace NPM as it drastically reduces the avalanche of information and brings relevant collective knowledge, especially for public policies that directly impact the relationship between government, companies and society and therefore reduce the weakest elements of the capitalism : corruption and the overload of information without proper knowledge, caused by the “American” Giants.
