The Transformation of Governance by Donald F Kettl
In the quest to improve the practice of public administration, the author explains, political scientists and scholars have tried a number of approaches. He suggests that they need to focus on governance or links between government and its broader environment: political, social and administrative.
Kettl's new book is a well-written and insightful assessment of the state of public administration, in both theory and practice.. Highly recommended. Choice 2003 Kettl argues that the problems now being thrust upon government are changing much faster than the structures of government action. -- Laurence E. Lynn, Jr. Public Administration Review 2003 An excellent discussion regarding recent influences on the field, including the new public management, institutionalism and network theory. -- Patrick G. Scott Political Studies Review 2004
