SYNOPSIS: Unlike most books on comparative public administration, which are written on different countries by Western specialists, Public Administration in World Perspective has brought together indigenous experts to provide their own points of view; it is a truly international endeavour. Editors Dwivedi and Henderson chose administrative growth and change (including reform) and policy developments of recent years as a framework, thereby providing a common denominator for the individual country and regional studies. In original and current selections the contributors describe and analyze their countries' administrative systems and styles from their own expert perspectives with reference to common benchmarks. These are then supplemented by commentaries on the status and direction of comparative/development studies. Practitioners and development specialists will appreciate Public Administration's global perspective and its distinctive inclusion of essays from Third World countries. Dr. Keith M. Henderson is Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York College at Buffalo. He previously served as Associate Professor of Public Administration at New York University and as Assistant Professor of Public Administration, American University at Beirut. He is the author of over forty articles and books in the field of public administration and has lectured, consulted, and done research in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. Dr. O. P. Dwivedi is Professor and Chairman, Department of Political Studies, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada. He has been consultant to the governments of India, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and Costa Rica and has served as adviser to the Public Service Commission of Canada, Ontario Civil Service Commission, Law Reform Commission of Canada, and the Indian Institute of Public Administration. He has written or contributed to over fifty books and journal articles published worldwide. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
