B. Guy Peters: The Politics of Bureaucracy, Gebunden

Klappentext

Written by B. Guy Peters, a leading authority in the field, this comprehensive exploration of the political and policy making roles of public bureaucracies is now available in a fully revised eighth edition, offering extensive, well-documented comparative analysis of the effects of politics on bureaucracy. Updates to this edition include:

• Two all-new chapters on public administration in non-democratic regimes and on populism and bureaucracy.
• An exploration of the field's movement away from New Public Management (NPM) and the search for new models of governance, including New Public Governance, and other approaches emphasizing collaboration with private sector actors.
• More analysis of the role of digital government as a component of public administration, as well as a renewed emphasis on political and sociological analysis, including the growing literature on the political economy of public organizations.

Drawing on evidence from a wide variety of political systems, The Politics of Bureaucracy, Eighth Edition, is essential reading for all students of public administration, government, policy analysis, politics, and international relations.
