TheRoutledge Handbook of Global Public Policy and Administration is a comprehensive leading-edge guide for students, scholars and practitioners of public policy and administration. Public policy and administration are key aspects of modern societies that affect the daily lives of all citizens. This handbook examines current trends and reforms in public policy and administration, such as financial regulation, risk management, public health, e-government and many others at the local, national and international levels. The two themes of the book are that public policy and administration have acquired an important global aspect, and that a critical role for government is the regulation of capital.
The handbook is organized into three thematic sections – Contemporary Challenges, Policy and Administration Responses and Forging a Resilient Public Administration – to allow readers to quickly access knowledge and improve their understanding of topics. The opening chapter, introductions to sections and extensive glossary aid readers to most effectively learn from the book. Each chapter provides a balanced overview of current knowledge, identifying issues and discussing relevant debates. The book is written by authors from Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australia.
‘The Routledge Handbook of Global Public Policy and Administration, edited by Thomas Klassen, TJ Lah and Denita Cepiku, is international in scope, with contributions by experts from across the globe, and comprehensive and up-to-date in its coverage of the field. It is particularly remarkable for its coherence. The volume is organized around the topic of governance and reflects a common understanding of the role of government in capitalist societies, keeping the economy running smoothly and sustainably and regulating it to promote the general welfare.’ — Fred Thompson, Professor, Atkinson Graduate School of Management, Willamette University, U.S.A.
‘This handbook provides a very useful guide to both perennial dilemmas in public policy and public administration such as corruption and procurement as well as cutting-edge issues such as e-government and terrorism. It is particularly notable for its clear writing and its emphasis on perspectives from outside North America. Scholars and students from all regions can learn much from its excellent team of authors.’ —Kent Weaver, Distinguished Professor of Public Policy, Georgetown University, U.S.A.
