Public Management and Administration

The nature and management of the public sector has changed dramatically since the replacement of the rigid, bureaucratic form of public administration of the 20th century by a more flexible, market-based model. The fourth edition of this highly successful text provides a uniquely broad ranging and international introduction to the field.

Public management and administration: An introduction

This text introduces and assesses the principles and theories underlying recent changes in the scope and management of the public sector. The earlier, traditional model of public administration, dominant for most of the century, is argued to be discredited. Newer public management models are being adopted all over the world and the basis, nature and dimensions of these - as well as their theoretical underpinnings - are considered in detail. Even if some changes work better than others, the author concludes, there will be no returning to the traditional model.
