Public Administration has experienced a fundamental rethinking of
its basic objectives, concepts and theories during the 21st
century. This book examines the transformations happening in global
societies, the economy and in politics, to trace the trajectory of
public administration as an academic discipline as well as being a
focus of social science research. It presents a reassessment of
governance in heterogenous developing countries that goes beyond
the traditional Weberian bureaucratic model, toward new models of
organization and management, informed by their legal,
constitutional, economic and political needs, aspirations and
ground realities. This is especially important in relation to the
marginalized sections of society that primarily rely on citizen
entitlements through public service delivery systems. The author
looks at widening the range and scope of public administrative
agencies with the gradual cooperation of multiple actors, such as
the civil society, people at large and even the private sector, in
a partnering role. The author revisits the discipline to tackle
intellectual dilemmas that current governance theories and
practices are confronting, or will have to confront in future
administrative situations. There will be key discussions on
mandates and challenges for the state regarding the rising South;
this book will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of
politics, especially governance and public policy, sociology and
development studies. It will also be of interest to bureaucrats,
NGOs and government officials.
