The public sector continues to play a strategic role across the
world. The last thirty years have seen major shifts in approaches
to public sector management in many different countries. There is
also a fierce debate across academic disciplines about contemporary
public adminstration/management: some advocate the use of more
managerialist approaches; while others critique them. New functions
have also arisen in the public sector, such as evaluation or
management consulting, which require analysis. There is a renewed
need for an analysis of contemporary public sector organisations,
which are changing rapidly before our eyes. Thus it is time for an
authoritative assessment of the major trends in public management,
embracing both their intended and unintended effects. This Handbook
brings together leading international scholars to comment on key
current issues. The individual chapters include a mix of broad
overviews, in depth exploration of particular thematic areas and
analyses of different theoretical perspectives such as political
science, management, sociology and economics. The authors have been
given sufficient space to develop their distinctive arguments. The
editors provide an overall concluding chapter. The Handbook
combines scholarly rigour, engaging writing from senior authors and
high policy relevance. It will be relevant to advanced students,
researchers and reflective public sector practitioners.
