Description
This new edition of a classic text provides a wealth of material on the management and
governance of the public sector, and explores the great shifts taking place in what is a
hotly contested part of society in many regions of the world. Setting out the key
theoretical perspectives on public management, this book will equip you with the key
concepts and tools that you need to make sense of contemporary public management
from different perspectives.
Reflecting the latest issues and trends in public management and administration, this
new edition offers:
Examples from a wide range of countries.
Increased analysis of the impact of authoritarianism and populism.
Coverage of key topics, including strategic management, leadership, performance
management, managing services and technology.
More inclusion of evidence and evidence-based policy.
Additional tables, figures and case study boxes offering the latest research insights.
Suitable for use on courses around the world, and for those with no prior knowledge of
the theory and practice of public management and administration, this fully revised sixth
edition is the ideal point of reference for lecturers and students in the field.
