Rezension: Kuhlmann, Sabine & Wollmann, Hellmut (2019): Introduction to Comparative Public Administration - Administrative Systems and Reforms in Europe

Abstract

The second edition of "Introduction to Comparative Public Administration. Administrative Systems and Reforms in Europe" updates its predecessor by completing the four case studies (UK, France, Germany, Sweden). It elaborates the consequences of reforms and exposes further trends in public administration from a comparative perspective. Cross-country comparisons provide therefore in-depth knowledge whether public administration converge, diverge or remain persistent regarding reform challenges. Meant as a textbook for students in public administration, the volume explains - by its logical structure and precise language - the complex but diverse nature of comparative public administration.
