Made to fill the major gap in the literature on public administration applied in development. This title provides a review of the state-of-the-art which is both historically-grounded and forward-looking, and which will appeal to a broad readership: policy-makers, managers, advisers, scholars and others operating at all levels of government from local community through international levels. The studies offer a practical approach, consistently linking theory with practice and experience, providing a forum for new and exciting ideas.
