Public Administration in the 21st Century - A Global South Perspective (Hardcover): Rumki Basu Public Administration in the 21st Century - A Global South Perspective (Hardcover)
Rumki Basu
R3,867 Discovery Miles 38 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Public Administration has experienced a fundamental rethinking of its basic objectives, concepts and theories during the 21st century. This book examines the transformations happening in global societies, the economy and in politics, to trace the trajectory of public administration as an academic discipline as well as being a focus of social science research. It presents a reassessment of governance in heterogenous developing countries that goes beyond the traditional Weberian bureaucratic model, toward new models of organization and management, informed by their legal, constitutional, economic and political needs, aspirations and ground realities. This is especially important in relation to the marginalized sections of society that primarily rely on citizen entitlements through public service delivery systems. The author looks at widening the range and scope of public administrative agencies with the gradual cooperation of multiple actors, such as the civil society, people at large and even the private sector, in a partnering role. The author revisits the discipline to tackle intellectual dilemmas that current governance theories and practices are confronting, or will have to confront in future administrative situations. There will be key discussions on mandates and challenges for the state regarding the rising South; this book will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of politics, especially governance and public policy, sociology and development studies. It will also be of interest to bureaucrats, NGOs and government officials.

Is globalisation a force for economic growth, prosperity and democratic freedom? Or is it a force for the exploitation of the developing world and suppression of human rights? Globalisation has opened up unparalleled new opportunities for economic and social development. But at the same time it has posed major threats to human security and human freedom. What this book addresses is this complexity of globalisation, its issues and impacts and lastly its relation with state and political power. In the four sections, sixteen articles and an introduction, the myriad faces of globalisation are explored and investigated.The first section looks, at globalisation and its impact on the nation-state and the issues of sovereignty. It also examines the globalisation ideology/political economy interface and the resultant impacts, issues and transformations in the society, economy and political processes. The second section looks at the evolving idea of a New World Order, issues of nuclearisation, global conflict and co-operation, besides the impacts of globalism on cultures and identities. The third section explores the impact of globalisation on human rights theory and practice, and the impact of international global covenants on human rights implementation in India. The last section is India-specific, wherein globalisation and its impact on centre-state relations, democracy and development, public administration and civil society interrelationships are discussed separately.

This book attends to the major concern of the Asia Pacific Region which is developing, energising and managing the human capital. In the early 60s the drawback of the region was the lack of skilled trained and knowledge driven personnel in public sector organisations. Five decades later, the problem remains equally acute despite the intrusion of intimidating global infrastructure and technology from the West. While the national objectives of each country in the region tries to accommodate and focus on the prime needs of the people, private companies and several non-state actors aim to carve out for themselves an ever widening space for control and management. Asia-Pacific is committed to achieve the MDGs of poverty reduction, illiteracy and lack of primary healthcare facilities which in the absence of human capital may continue to be a mirage for this region. The objective of this book is to find ways to achieve a knowledge driven administrative system to unlock human capital.
