Description

Public Administration in the Global Village offers a global and comparative approach to the study of public administration. It examines the ongoing international changes in the field of public administration; it defines the emerging new world order and the promises and challenges that it holds for public administration; and it stipulates the effects and side effects of these changes on developing countries. The volume seeks to promote a global and comparative perspective on public administration to counter the continuing parochialism and ethnocentrism in the field.

Reviews

This book presents a bold look at public administration using a global perspective from the purview of different scholars...This book is a useful addition to the public administration literature, particularly with the new demands for internationalizaton of the field...We must indeed think globally to participate locally in the debate for changing our field to fit the realities of our 'global village.'It is to this end that this book makes its greatest contribution.-ARPA
This is the first of a new wave of books to emerge in the field of comparative public administration in the age of the global village. It provides a useful, brief introduction to the history of the field, but more importantly calls for a new approach to the discipline. This book will be valuable for graduate courses in public administration and as a reference book.-Choice
