Comparative Bureaucratic Systems

Description

In today's politically and economically complex and interdependent world, scholars, professional administrators, and laypersons alike increasingly recognize the importance of bureaucracies. In this timely volume, contributors with demonstrated expertise in a range of geographical areas advance our understanding of public administration worldwide through extensive research and incisive analysis. Covering the public sector both in more- and less-developed nations, this book sheds new light on the means by which the 'fourth branch of government' can be made both effective and well-suited to the local culture. This collection is a valuable resource for scholars of public administration and political science as well as for professional administrators in the United States and abroad.

Choice Reviews
A good textbook for courses that focus on the relationship between political cultures and public bureaucracies.

Perspectives on Political Science
This book provides exemplary background information that not only political scientists, but also statesmen, politicians, administrators, and journalists in all countries ought to read and know about. I strongly recommend this important contribution to our literature.
