Public Administration in the 21st century : a global south perspective / Rumki Basu

By: Basu, RumkiPublication details: Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge , 2019 Description: 110 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 9780367140090 (pbk); 9781138056213 (hbk)Subject(s): Administración pública | Ciencia política | S. XXIAbstract: Public Administration has experienced a fundamental rethinking of its basic objectives, concepts and theories during the 21st century. This book examines the transformations happening in global societies, the economy and in politics, to trace the trajectory of public administration as an academic discipline as well as being a focus of social science research. It presents a reassessment of governance in heterogenous developing countries that goes beyond the traditional Weberian bureaucratic model, toward new models of organization and management, informed by their legal, constitutional, economic and political needs, aspirations and ground realities. This is especially important in relation to the marginalized sections of society that primarily rely on citizen entitlements through public service delivery systems. The author looks at widening the range and scope of public administrative agencies with the gradual cooperation of multiple actors, such as the civil society, people at large and even the private sector, in a partnering role. The author revisits the discipline to tackle intellectual dilemmas that current governance theories and practices are confronting, or will have to confront in future administrative situations.
