Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. In order to be
successful, public administration (PA) research has to be
methodologically promiscuous. Attempting either quantitative or
qualitative purity is no way to reflect the complex realities of
public administration in the real world. Looking to the future of
the subject, this Research Handbook seeks to suggest the future of
PA research, and the directions which it may - or should - take.
With chapters from leading researchers, A Research Agenda for
Public Administration offers observations, analysis, and concerns
from researchers. With thematically linked chapters, this book
focuses and clarifies the current research agenda for public
administration while endorsing the need for relevant research in
the field, and advocating for theory which fits the reality and
practice of public administration, for example, in the areas of
climate change, disease control, and migration and inequality. This
Research Agenda will assist students of PA as well as of public
sector management, especially postgraduates, but it is also a
useful resource for more established researchers seeking to
understand the major emerging issues. Contributors include: T.
