Understanding Public Administration by Michiel S De Vries

Public administration - the practice of producing and executing government policy by bureaucrats, politicians, managers and other officials - affects almost everything we encounter in our day-to-day lives.
'Rooted in the real world with numerous well-crafted everyday examples, this book is creative and imaginative in its scope and has the potential to appeal to students from a wide range of countries, given the breadth of examples and case studies' - David Wilson, De Montfort University, UK 'This book takes an original approach in the field of classical books on Public Administration. Not burdened by academic specialisms, and written in an accessible style, this is almost like a GPS of public administration for the topics covered.' - Geert Bouckaert, KU Leuven, Belgium
Michiel S. de Vries holds the chair in Public Administration at the Radboud University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He is the president of the International Association of Schools and Institutes in Administration (2012-2016) and full member of the Group of Independent Experts on the European Charter of Local Self-Government of the Council of Europe.
