This book is about the systems of values, traditions, perceptions, and meanings existing in the Canadian federal public service since the First World War. Surveying that history, it considers the conflict of values arising from the attempt to add New Public Management values to older bureaucratic ones. These tensions are looked at from an ethical viewpoint, but also from that of the relationship between ends and means. Are the means proposed really likely to meet the ends proclaimed? Attempts to change a culture from the top down run against daily realities; the interests, training, and experience of all employees, elites, and others. Authors Dwivedi and Gow intend this overview to enable readers to appreciate the complex world of Canada's public servants. A joint publication with The Institute of Public Administration of Canada.

This book applies established analytical concepts such as influence, authority, administrative styles, autonomy, budgeting and multilevel administration to the study of international bureaucracies and their political environment. It reflects on the commonalities and differences between national and international administrations and carefully constructs the impact of international administrative tools on policy making. The book shows how the study of international bureaucracies can fertilize interdisciplinary discourse, in particular between International Relations, Comparative Government and Public Administration. The book makes a forceful argument for Public Administration to take on the challenge of internationalization.

Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.

If the reengineering of government is to be successful, we must first understand how the current system affects how managers actually manage.Based on a comprehensive study of four federal agencies--including interviews with over 100 public managers--How Do Public Managers Manage? is a richly detailed analysis of the effect of organizational culture on managers' behavior. This important book offers a practical understanding of how government managers solve problems, manage personnel, and plan in the face of bureaucratic constraints.How Do Public Managers Manage? examines what managers can do to work more effectively within existing systems, and evaluates the potential of success of the reform efforts designed to free managers from the chains of bureaucracy. Author Carolyn Ban delivers critical information on how managers from government agencies (that vary in mission, size, structure, resources, and leadership) cope with bureaucratic limitations and constraints. She reveals how organizational differences directly affect such considerations as the management selection process, the quality of management training, and the managers' career path. The book also analyzes how the role of manager can vary within and between organizations as exemplified by first line "working" manager-supervisors and supervisors who have the title but perform very few of the functions of a supervisor.Focusing on how coping strategies differ across agencies, the author probes how managers' react to the constraints imposed by the civil service system and the budget process and outlines the strategies they use when dealing with the lengthy and complex process of hiring and firing. And the author examines how managers implement the often frustrating mandates of personnel ceilings, hiring freezes, and reductions in workforce. Using numerous examples and insightful stories, the book reveals the range of methods that managers find to operate within or to circumvent the formal systems of
