Among the most intractable problems in the public sector is how
to train effective administrators. Nagel and the contributors to
this wide-ranging investigation show how worldwide the training
problem is, and how critical is the need to solve it. Included here
are discussions of, among other issues, how to motivate, reward,
promote, and sanction new and experienced hires, and also how to
deal with them fairly and productively in other ways. They explore
ways to provide training courses in colleges, government agencies,
and private sector training facilities, how to teach specific
subjects, such as financial administration (including taxation,
spending, budgeting), and how to develop and implement public
policies that are effective, efficient, and equitable.
Interdisciplinary as well as cross-national, the book provides
viewpoints from both academics and practitioners - people from
political science, public administration, public policy and related
disciplines. It also offers a combination of liberal and
conservative ideological viewpoints, and reaches into Africa, Asia,
East and West Europe, Latin America and North America for its
viewpoints. Among the book's features are its stress on the
importance of well-trained public administrators, its coverage of
the controversial aspects of public administration training, and
its success at integrating the substance of public policy with
administrative procedures. The result is a major source of
information for public administrators and policy makers already in
government service and for students in academic programs preparing
them for it.
