Public administration
This book covers all the important aspects of administrative theory: its basic concepts, forms of organisation and its principles, administrative law, comparative pubic administration, public policy, the developmental paradigm and personnel and financial administration. It comes in an attempt to satisfy the need for a work that would present all aspects of administrative theory in one place. As the series title suggests, it is a Rapid Revision Studypack that analyses the diverse aspects of administrative theory in a comprehensive manner supported by numerous examples, especially with regard to their application in different administrative systems. It is a compendium of theories, principles and techniques of public administration characterised by a detailed yet balanced presentation emphasising on clarity of subject matter and lucidity of language.
Public administration is a subject of study in various universities of India. It is
an optional subject in the Civil Services (Main) Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission and is a subject in the UGC (NET) examination. This book
would be helpful to all those who have taken up Public Administration as a subject
of their choice for graduation and post-graduation courses. It would be useful for
all candidates appearing for the Civil Services (Main) Examination and the UGC NET
examinations who have Public Administration as a subject, as it covers the latest
