Perspectives On Public Administration; Policy, Governance And Service

The main issue of this book is how public administrator or government implements its authority and main task in public sector. Talking about public administration means talking about actions of public administrator or government to manage the public affairs, to implement the predetermined tasks, and to solve the public problems. To see the issue, there are three perspectives based on policy, governance, and service. Based on the perspectives, there is the shift of implementation approach from only public administrator or government to partnership by participating private sector and civil society/people. Therefore, based on the perspectives, public administration affairs are comprehensive in relation to three dimensions, both policy, governance, and service. The principal reason is that the work of public administrator or government can only succeed if the dimensions are adequately implemented. This book is useful particularly for those who work in public sector and interested in studying public administration.
