From the Author:
Owen Hughes
Australia and New Zealand School of Government, Melbourne, Australia.
"The book aims to help 'anyone in the public sector to understand and cope with the recent changes, and places them in the context of the development of the welfare state'.
This it does and this it does well. Norman Flynn's Public Sector Management is now in its fourth edition and there is no reason why it should not continue for many more."
Features in the new edition include: summary-introduction for each chapter;
a list of sources, including reading and weblinks, for students writing
assignments; and a website containing sources, tables and links to
government departments and other sites useful for students.
