Public Management and Administration by Owen E Hughes
The rigid, bureaucratic form of public administration which dominated for most of the 20th century has been replaced by a flexible, market- based form of public management. This title introduces; and assesses the principles and theories underlying changes in the management of the public sector.
'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.
