Public Management and Administration by Owen E Hughes

Public Management and Administration by Owen E Hughes

Since the 1990s, there has been a transformation in the management of the public sector. The rigid, bureaucratic form of public administration which dominated for most of the 20th century has been replaced by a flexible, market based form of public management. "Public Management and Administration" introduces and assesses the principles and theories underlying changes in the management of the public sector. Systematically revised and updated throughout, the third edition of this text includes a new chapter on the impact of e-governance and expanded coverage of financial and performance management.

'A clear and balanced account of the way public services management has changed and is changing..The great thing about Owen Hughes' book...is that it maps out lucidly and coherently the bigger picture of public services reform.' - Kieran Walshe, Health Service Journal Review comment on previous editions: 'A strength of the book is the admirable clarity of its arguments. Indeed, this is one of the best written books of its kind that I have come across. Nor does it suffer from the limitations of country-specific studies, treating the NPM as an international phenomenon.' - Chris Painter, Teaching Public Administration

OWEN E. HUGHES is Professor of Public Sector Management, Monash University, Australia.
