The recent acceleration of global governance arrangements has
created a new sphere of public administration beyond the
nation-state, along with a new set of challenges for national and
local governments. This innovative book explores the frontiers of
knowledge at the intersection of public administration and
international relations scholarship.Expert contributors from around
the world provide an interdisciplinary perspective on a range of
administrative issues related to international and transboundary
organizations. The chapters combine conceptual approaches and
empirical research to address questions of autonomy, legitimacy and
influence, with a focus on significant global policy issues in
health, the environment, science and technology, poverty and trade.
This comprehensive approach illustrates the expansive contours of
this burgeoning field and outlines vital implications for public
administration theory, practice and teaching. This fascinating and
timely book will be of great interest to scholars and students of
public administration, global governance and international
relations. Contributors: S. Ashley, O.G. Austvik, M.W. Bauer, P.-O.

A once-in-a-generation event held every twenty years, the
Minnowbrook conference brings together the top scholars in public
administration and public management to reflect on the state of the
field and its future. This unique volume brings together a group of
distinguished authors - both seasoned and new - for a rare critical
examination of the field of public administration yesterday, today,
and tomorrow. The book begins by examining the ideas of previous
Minnowbrook conferences, such as relevance and change, which are
reflective of the 1960s and 1980s. It then moves beyond old
Minnowbrook concepts to focus on public administration challenges
of the future: globalism, twenty-first century collaborative
governance, the role of information technology in governance,
deliberative democracy and public participation, the organization
of the future, and teaching the next generation of leaders. The
book ends by coming full circle to examine the current challenge of
remaining relevant. There is no other book like this - nor is there
ever likely to be another - in print. Simply put, the ideas,
concepts, and spirit of Minnowbrook are one-of-a-kind. This book
captures the soul of public administration past, present, and
future, and is a must-read for anyone serious about the theory and
practice of public administration.
