A Citizen’s Guide to Public Administration<br />
The History <strong>and</strong> <strong>Politics</strong> of Managing Public Affairs<br />
Anthony Bertelli, University of Southern California, <strong>US</strong>A<br />
Series: Citizen Guides to <strong>Politics</strong> <strong>and</strong> Public Affairs<br />
What is public administration <strong>and</strong> what does it do? Though government bureaucracy is<br />
much maligned, could the modern state exist without it? Why is public administration<br />
<strong>and</strong> bureaucracy so misunderstood? By invoking enduring ideas about representation<br />
<strong>and</strong> democracy, Anthony Bertelli sheds light on these ellusive questions in a concise but<br />
nuanced narrative that relates the history of the modern bureaucratic state to<br />
contemporary efforts to treat government more like a business. The idea of a<br />
principal-agent relationship is the book’s guiding theme to help readers underst<strong>and</strong><br />
the ongoing debates about how best to manage public affairs in a democracy.<br />
Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Bureaucracy, Representation, <strong>and</strong> Pragmatism 2. Why<br />
(or Why Not) Run Government Like a Business? 3. Governance, Networks, Management<br />
- Anything but Bureaucracy 4. Accountability <strong>and</strong> Representation 5. Conclusion<br />
