Globalism and Comparative Public Administration

Exploring the development and contributions of the comparative public administration perspective, this book explains how the comparative approach is essential for developing authentic generalizations of management that are applicable beyond national boundaries. It builds upon the 2002 edition, with two new chapters and rewrites of others. The text illustrates how the approach helps to define what works and what doesn’t, and includes a section on global ethics. It discusses classic models of comparative public administration, as well as newer forms, and offers examples of both useful and non-useful administrative practices.
