Summary

Challenging some of the established practices of public policy and administration, which have been called into question in recent years by the financial and banking crises of 2008, the authors specifically seek to investigate public managers acting in the interests of civil society and invite those engaged in the practice of public management to share their ideas and informed thinking with a wider readership. This series then examines the emerging trends in public sector management and endeavours to anticipate the directions they may take.
