Drawing together key contributions from the field, this innovative volume provides a broad-ranging overview of both the theory and the practice of public service management. The editors outline the social, political, and economic contexts in which management has emerged as a crucial issue in the public sector of modern democratic countries. Introducing three major theories, issues, and concepts involved in defining and understanding public sector management, this book analyzes some of the key values underpinning the idea of the public domain and examines some of the techniques and strategies which have been proposed to improve management for public services. This collection of thought-provoking articles will be essential reading for all graduate students studying public sector management, as well as practicing public sector managers-particularly those in health care, local government, and the civil service.
