Reviews

'Public administration is a wide-ranging and amorphous field. To make sense of it all requires a diverse range of theoretical perspectives. That is exactly what this excellent volume delivers, providing the reader with fresh perspectives on both the classic and novel big questions for governing.' -- Donald Moynihan, Georgetown University, US 'This book is essential reading for all those scholars and practitioners who want to gain a deeper understanding of the balancing act ever-present in public administration and management to cope with classic and emerging dilemmas and the normative dimensions thereof. It sets the research agenda for the coming years.' -- Michiel S. de Vries, Radboud University, the Netherlands
