Compiling the experience and expertise of over 50 leading
international scholars, this Handbook of Teaching Public
Administration provides critical insights into the questions,
issues, and challenges raised by teaching practitioners and
aspiring professionals. Its global scope ensures a comprehensive
overview of the diversity of current practice in teaching public
administration. Featuring international examples of curriculum
design and practice, the Handbook positions public administration
against a backdrop shaped by global politics, history, philosophy,
and social change. Applied case studies on teaching public
administration and in-depth analyses of critical pedagogical
concepts illuminate the diverse and multidisciplinary approaches to
public administration across the globe, as well as emphasising the
widely contested nature of its teaching. Contributions from field
professionals explore questions of accreditation, curriculum
design, assessment, innovation, and practice, ultimately serving to
inform and inspire readers' pedagogical decisions. Theoretical,
empirical, and practice-focused, this incisive Handbook will be an
essential resource for public administration students, educators,
and practitioners at any stage in their study or career. It will
also serve as an engaging reference text for public administration
accreditation and approvals organisations.
The Routledge Handbook of International Local Government conducts a
rigorous, innovative and distinctive analysis of local government
within a comparative, international context. Examining the subject
matter with unrivalled breadth and depth, this handbook shows how
different cultures and countries develop different institutions,
structures and processes over time, yet that all have some features
in common - the most obvious of which is the recognition that some
decisions are better made, some services better delivered, and some
engagement with the state better organised if there is structured
organisational expression of the importance of the local dimension
of all these factors . Thematically organised, it includes
contributions from international experts with reference to the
wider context in terms of geographies, local government modes,
recent developments and possible further lines of research. It has
a wide academic appeal internationally and will steer a course
between the two dimensions of mono-jurisdictional studies and
'cataloguing' forms of comparison. The Routledge Handbook of
International Local Government will be essential reading and an
authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and
practitioners involved in, and actively concerned about, research
on local government.
