Opis

Those who implement policies have the discretion to shape democratic values. Public administration is not policy administered, but democracy administered. 

Recenzje

'We know that efficient, effective and equitable administration of law and policy is important for the well-being of democracy. But Bertelli turns the equation around, vividly illuminating how public administrators make fundamental decisions about the conduct of democracy itself. Bridging democratic theory and public administration, he demonstrates how the democratic values of public administrators are the missing link in debates about the quality and character of representative democracy.' Christopher Ansell, University of California, Berkeley
