The Future of Governing

I think this is very good book for Public Administration studies. The only beggary is, that is very difficult to read for nonenglish people!

At recent times, lots of book about new public management and reformist movements have been published by varied writers. The most important flaw of the propositions given and models created was the ignorance of the politic realities. And most of the models has been based on pure rational/economic assumptions. Therefore, none of them was completely applicable for public sector organizations. This book gives us some insights about the politic "realities" of the public sector and its relationship to the democratic context of the society. All contradictions the popular public management propositions hold are explained in the book as clearly as possible. The author of the book puts forward arguements contrary to the popular public management propositions. If you are getting bored due to the myriad popular books and models this book exactly is for you to read and gain an interesting and deeper understanding about the essentials of public administration. Strongly recommended.
