An International Perspective
Edited by Patrick Lucas, Tina Nabatchi, Janine O’Flynn, and Paul ’t Hart | 2024
In an era of low trust in government and a pervasive negativity bias, this volume goes against the grain. It examines the foundations, practices and tools of a distinctly positive strand of public administration (PPA).
This book asserts that there is a perennial need for social, evidence-based learning on what to aspire to and what works in public administration. Responding to this need, scholars from five continents present research designed to do just that. Employing an array of frameworks and methods, they present studies of high-performing policies and programs, exploring what makes them tick and what can be learned from their design and delivery. Taken together, the 27 contributions make a powerful case for the added value of PPA as an intellectual and practical endeavour.
