PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE

This major introductory textbook is the first in a new series of public sector management texts from Routledge, and is designed primarily as a comprehensive, indepth and accessible resource for students of public sector management and administration. Filling a gap in the market, it covers highly topical issues such as the stakeholder public sector, devolution, decentralisation, policy-making and implementation and the wider context of public sector management. With an international authorship, this is more comprehensive, cohesive and international than any other textbook in the area.
