This accessible introduction to the system of public administration uses a clear, country by country analysis to the contemporary system of public administration and management in a number of significant countries. This text examines the extent to which new public management, politicians and public opinion can influence bureaucracies in various countries; in addition, it explores the role of public administration systems within the wider political systems and democratic frameworks of their states.


The new edition revises and updates several of the original country studies including: the United States, France, the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Italy, and adds three more chapters on Greece, Russia, India and China. Each chapter is written to a common framework which makes comparison easier and covers the following issues:



Political culture


The Constitutional framework


The civil service


Public sector agencies


Federal and local government


Financing the system


Co-ordination of the system


Managing the system


Accountability, secrecy and openness


Democracy 


Further developments and the financial crash


This student-friendly volume is a highly valuable resource for students of Politics and Administration.


This textbook is essential reading for students of comparative public administration.
