Public Administration: Research Strategies, Concepts, and Methods

by B Guy Peters (Author), B Guy Peters (Author), Patrick von Maravic (Author), Tero Erkkilä (Author)

Synopsis

Public Administration: Research Strategies, Concepts, and Methods explores how scholars of public administration and institutional politics can improve their analysis by focusing on the contextual particularities of their research problems and considering the use of multiple theories and methods. The book functions as an introduction to central themes of public administration and related traditions of research, but also proposes a new pluralist approach for studying public institutions.
