First published in 1967, Field Administration provides a useful
introduction to a much-neglected aspect of administration. Every
government finds it necessary to decentralise its administration.
But in Britain much more attention has been paid to devolution,
i.e., to local government, than to deconcentration, i.e., to local
and regional administrative organisation, or what Mr. Smith calls
field administration. Neither aspect of decentralisation can be
fully understood in isolation and one great merit of this volume is
it study of interrelationships between the two. To illustrate the
general principles involved, case studies are provided of three
kinds of field administration: the functional (the Ministry of
Agriculture in the U.K.), the integrated prefectoral system (Burma)
and the unintegrated prefectoral system (Northern Nigeria). This
book will be of interest to students of political science,
government and administration.
