The original Handbook of Public Administration was a landmark
publication, the first to provide a comprehensive and authoritative
survey of the discipline. The eagerly-awaited new edition of this
seminal international handbook continues to provide a complete
review and guide to past and present knowledge in this essential
field of inquiry. Assembling an outstanding team of scholars from
around the world, the second edition explores the current
state-of-the-art in academic thinking and the current structures
and processes for the administration of public policy. The second
edition has been fully revised and updated, with new chapters that
reflect emerging issues and changes within the public sector: -
Identifying the Antecedents in Public Performance - Bureaucratic
Politics - Strategy Structure and Policy Dynamics - Comparative
Administrative Reform - Administrative Ethics - Accountability
through Market and Social Instruments - Federalism and
intergovernmental coordination. A dominant theme throughout the
handbook is a critical reflection on the utility of scholarly
theory and the extent to which government practices inform the
development of this theory. To this end it serves as an essential
guide for both the practice of public administration today and its
on-going development as an academic discipline. The SAGE Handbook
of Public Administration remains indispensable to the teaching,
study and practice of public administration for students, academics
and professionals everywhere.
