The Essential Public Manager

Pollitt (public management, Erasmus U., the Netherlands), hoping to demonstrate that the field of public management and administration is not boring, treats a limited number of core issues using Socratic conversations and case study vignettes as illustrative of different points and perspectives. Topics include partnerships and networks in governance, accountability and participation, evaluation, and values and ethics. Distributed by Taylor & Francis.
