Riassunto

This updated third edition of the Introduction to Comparative Public Administration explores the cultural, organizational, personnel and financial aspects of public administration across a wide range of European countries. The authors provide country profiles, comparative reform assessments and case studies to highlight the similarities and differences among European public administrations, with key learning objectives highlighted for each chapter.

Key Features of this third edition:

• Examples from both Western and Central Eastern European administrative systems
• In-depth empirical analysis paired with case studies of administrative systems and reform trajectories to enhance students' comparative interest, knowledge and skills
• Accounts of recent reforms and institutional changes, such as digitalization in public administration, as well as the major trends of public sector modernization in an era of multiple crises

This revised textbook is an indispensable resource for students, researchers and lecturers of political and administrative sciences, public management and the wider social sciences. It is also of great interest to policymakers, NGOs, administrators and public CEOs interested in systems reform in Europe as well as the major trends of public sector modernization in an era of multiple crises.
