Perspectives

Elke Loeffler and I, as editors, have been delighted that we have been able to bring together this hugely impressive array of authors to write concise, insightful summaries of recent trends and current key issues in all of the major issues in public management and governance. This third edition has been fully updated and considerably extended - it now offers an unique overview of the field.
