Public value theory speaks to the co-creation of value between
politicians, citizens, and public managers, with a focus on the
public manager in terms of her contributions, initiatives, and
limitations in value creation. But just who are public managers?
Public value regularly treats the "public manager" as synonymous
with bureaucrat, government official, civil servant, or public
administrator. However, the categories of public managers represent
a more versatile and expansive set of agents in society than they
are given credit for, and the discourse of public value has
typically not delved sufficiently into the variety of possible
cadres that might comprise the "public manager." This book seeks to
go beyond the assumed understandings of who the public manager is
and what she does. It does so by examining the processes of value
creation that are driven by non-traditional sets of public
managers, which include the judiciary, the armed forces,
multilateral institutions, and central banks. It applies public
value tools to understand their value creation and uses their
unique attributes to inform our understanding of public value
theory. Tailored to an audience comprising public administration
scholars, students of government, public officials, practitioners,
and social scientists interested in contemporary problems of values
in society, this book helps to advance public administration
thought by re-examining the theory's ultimate protagonist: the
public manager. It therefore constitutes an important effort to
take public value theory forward by going "beyond" conceptions of
the public manager as she has thus far been understood.
