Opis

This text is about the theory and practice of public administration in a dynamic age of globalization. It deals with the capacity to manage the complex world of governance and public administration in the age of accelerated globalization, with an emphasis on the ability to build the future as an expression of collective human will and choice through global administrative actions. The mission is 'to improve the quality of public service and administration across the globe in the 21st century.' As a graduate and upper-level undergraduate primary textbook, it serves students, instructors, and scholars/researchers not only as a solid source of knowledge on the fundamental functions of public administration in managing public governance and government affairs at local and national levels.It also takes strategic steps beyond the current state of the field by addressing the formidable challenges of the globalization age at the global level; it further offers guidance with strategies, approaches, and methods to not only revitalize public service and administration, but also build 'future-weaving capacities' for managing an increasingly unknowable world of public governance and administration across the globe.
