Public administration as a field of study finds itself in the
middle of a fluid environment. The very reach and complexity of
public administration has been easy to take for granted, easy to
attack, and difficult to explain, particularly in the soundbite and
Twitter-snipe media environment. Not only has the context for the
discipline changed, but the institutions of public administration
have adapted and innovated to deliver services to the public and
serve those in power while becoming increasingly complex
themselves. Has public administration evolved? And what new lines
of research are critical for effective policy and delivery of
programs and public services while preserving foundational
principles such as the rule of law and expert institutions? This
Handbook of Public Administration sheds light for new researchers,
doctoral students, scholars, and practitioners interested in
probing modern public administration's role in solving major
challenges facing nations and the world. This fourth edition
recognizes that the scholarship of public administration must
reflect the diverse influence of an international orientation,
embracing public administration issues and practices in governance
systems around the world, and illustrating just how practice can
vary across jurisdictions. Every section identifies foundational
principles and issues, shows variation in practice across selected
jurisdictions, and identifies promising avenues for research. Each
chapter revisits enduring themes and tensions, showing how they
persist, along with new challenges and opportunities presented by
digital technology and contemporary political realities. The
Handbook of Public Administration, Fourth Edition provides a
compelling introduction to and depiction of the contemporary
realities of public administration, and it will inspire new avenues
of inquiry for the next generation of public administration
researchers.
