Public administration - the practice of producing and executing
government policy by bureaucrats, politicians, managers and other
officials - affects almost everything we encounter in our
day-to-day lives. Public administrators are - at least partially -
responsible for the amount of hours we work, the quality of the air
we breathe, the ease with which we can visit the doctor and the
state of the roads we walk and drive down. Despite the widespread
relevance of public administration however, the relative amount of
government influence on society differs across the world. This
major new introduction examines public administration structures,
processes and achievements, and the behavior and motivations of the
administrators themselves. Internationally relevant and analyzing
states at a range of different developmental stages, it examines
the key themes and issues that dominate the field. Chapters are
framed around a series of questions that determine the typical and
the unusual features of governments. For example, focus is given to
what makes for a stable government, the different definitions of
management, possible solutions to corruption, the relationship
between central and local governments as well as the formal
strategies for policy development. The book draws extensively on
core theory in the field, and makes critical links between public
administration and economics, law, sociology and the wider subject
of political science. As accessible for students as it is useful
for practitioners looking for a comprehensive reference guide, this
is an essential text for those who wish to understand the
complexities of government and public administration from the
inside out.
