Public Administration : From Goverment To Governance

This book describes the various models, theories and practices of public administration and governance. It balances the dominant Western perspectives and models on administration with non-Western perspectives, and blends theory with practice by carefully explaining the theories governing the discipline while simultaneously focusing on public policy programmes. And, importantly, it describes how the local context heavily influences public administration, and why, therefore, it is difficult to formulate a universal definition or theory of the discipline.

Public Administration: From Government to Governance provides:

• Detailed discussions on the various classical theories, landmark conferences (such as Minnowbrook) and the changing discourses around the discipline of public administration.
• A comprehensive study of various non-Western models of governance through the works of M. K. Gandhi, Mao Zedong and Julius Nyerere.
• Chapters on governance and e-governance, public policy, and the failures and successes of major policies, ethics in governance, and the untapped potential of local governance in our country.
• Contemporary theoretical developments and the growing role of the market and civil society in governance.

This book serves as a ready-reckoner of public administration, incorporating almost all the important aspects of political and social life that are part of the process of governing. It will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science and public administration, researchers and civil service aspirants.

A Dictionary Of Public Administration

A Dictionary of Public Administrationi the first work of its kind in India as well as perhaps in the Third World. It covers the terms, concepts, theories and paradigms of public administration. Each term is defined and explained concisely but clearly. While a large number of entries are discussed in a few lines, many of them are very comprehensively treated, which is usually characteristic of an encyclopedia. The dictionary deals with the theory of public administration in all its sub-fields like administrative theory, personnell administration, financial administration, comparative public administration, administrative law and public policy. It goes beyond and includes the institutions and processes of Indian administration as well. All these features make this an indispensable volume for students and teachers of public administration as well as policy planners and analysts.
