Governments around the world face the challenge of espousing
principles of fairness but practicing inequity in their
administration. Issues of equity and justice are fundamental
concerns of government, and thus to public administrators, who
constantly struggle to evaluate a country's social climate and
ensure equity in governance. Such evaluation is unlikely to occur
in a serious way, however, if government actors are fundamentally
too uncomfortable to directly engage the topic. The result, this
book argues, is a context of 'nervousness,' which unless squarely
acknowledged and addressed, can become debilitating and thwart
progress toward achieving social equity. This volume explores and
expands our understanding of the concept of nervousness in the
administration of government services around the world,
demonstrating the ways in which such an emotional and physical
reaction can debilitate government actions that are needed to
promote social equity and justice. Each of the chapters in this
edited volume focuses on a single country and examines a specific
nervous area of government, highlighting important historical and
political considerations, as well as specific evidence of promising
progress. It considers the complexity of nervous areas of
governments around the world, while identifying encouraging
approaches and initiatives. Global Equity in Administration is
required reading for all practicing and aspiring public servants
concerned with fair and equitable provision of public services
around the world.
