Globalism and Comparative Public Administration

Explaining the development and contributions of the comparative public administration perspective, this book explains how the comparative approach is fundamental for developing authentic generalizations of management that have applicability beyond national boundaries. It builds upon the 2002 edition, with two new chapters and rewrites of others. The book illustrates how the approach helps define what works and what does not work. The presentation of main issues offers theoretical analysis and practical illustrations. Classic models are discussed as well as those in the other developed countries.
