About this book

In these times of dramatic social, economic and political change, governments around the world are questioning their roles and responsibilities in the public sector. There is a trend away from traditional public sector model and that of market ideology, but there does not yet exist a universally accepted alternative. Brendan Nolan offers a comparative analysis of public administration in several OECD countries (the UK, USA, Australia, and Scandinavia) and explores possible future directions.
