Administration: Concise Paperback Edition. London: Sage.

The past two decades have been marked by a period

of substantial and often fundamental change in public
administration. Critically reflecting on the utility of scholarly
theory and the extent to which government practices
inform the development of this theory, the Handbook of
Public Administration was a landmark publication which
served as an essential guide for both the practice of public
administration today and its on-going development as an academic discipline. The
Concise Paperback Edition provides a selection of 30 of the original articles in an
accessible paperback format and includes a new introduction by B. Guy Peters and
Jon Pierre. It is an essential point of reference for all students of public
administration.
