官僚主义的根基在Economic and Social Thought

Edited by the late Bill Jenkins, former Professor of Public Policy and Management, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK and Edward C. Page, Sidney and Beatrice Webb Professor of Public Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

These two landmark volumes – prepared by leading authorities in the field – locate bureaucracy in its proper historical and theoretical context. They demonstrate that far from being a spent force bureaucratic organisations and processes are, and will continue to be, of central importance in the new millennium.

‘When the review editor asked me whether I was interested in examining two volumes of edited articles with a total of around 1,500 pages my heart sank – another doorstop was on its way. Happily I can report to readers that these two volumes would be a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in the field of public administration and public policy. They provide a “one-stop shop” of all the major journal articles including some of the seminal pieces, in this area. . . Overall, these volumes make an excellent addition to any collection on public administration. The collection is comprehensive, the selection appropriate and the historical breadth wide. . . Put an order in now. You could do far worse, but you will rarely do much better than having these volumes in easy reach.’
