Understanding Public Administration
The first sentence of this book made its intentions clear. It is intended to make you think, to reconsider and to reflect on the workings of the public sector by addressing eight key themes in Public Administration. I take the liberty of using this final chapter to formulate a personal key theme in Public Administration. By now it should be clear that Public Administration means two things: it is a scholarly discipline (Public Administration) and it is the subject of that discipline, i.e., public administration as part of the public sector.
