Encyclopaedia of Public Administration (In 5 Volumes)

 
Shashi Shekhar Singh (Editor) K.V. Singh (Editor)
Synopsis No state of any extent can be ruled without a bureaucracy, but organisations of any size have been few until the modern era. Administrative institutions usually grow out of the personal servants of high officials. Public administrative services are linked to pursuing the public good by enhancing civil society and social justice. Though public administration has historically referred to as government management, it increasingly encompasses Non-Governmental Organisations that are not acting out of self interest. Public administration in India has been evolving for a long period of time. Since the inception of British rule it has gone through various changes and after independence there have been calls for major changes. In spite of gradual attempts to alter the nature of public administration, make it subservient to political authority and responsive to the needs of the citizens, the basic framework remains the same. This encyclopedic work in five volumes, contains authoritative description of all theoretical and practical issues of public administration. All the issues have been critically examined both from historical perspective and an in-depth analysis of various parameters involved with some fresh thinking and insights, with a view to offer some constructive suggestions to resolve some of the inherent problems, and their implications for the civil society as a whole. This work would be found immensely useful both by the students and practitioners of public administration, and would serve as a reference tool to encourage further debate and discussions amongst the academics, intellectuals and policy makers in India and abroad.
