Edited by Alexander Kouzmin, this anthology assembles leading thinkers in Australian public administration to interrogate the structures, processes, and power dynamics that define the modern public sector, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical critiques for scholars, students, and practitioners alike.\n\nSituated within the broader tradition of Australian Management Studies, the volume argues that public administration is not a neutral technical exercise but a deeply political and organisational endeavour shaped by competing interests and ideologies. Kouzmin's editorial vision gives the collection a cohesive intellectual identity, drawing on critical management theory, organisational behaviour, and public policy analysis to illuminate the tensions between bureaucratic efficiency and democratic accountability. For anyone seeking to understand the machinery of government from the inside out, this collection raises questions that refuse easy answers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203390251227,"sku":"2026200013544-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1c158cf9-33ea-4d9a-85fc-9971ede677e8.png?v=1788148260","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013544-secondhand-public-sector-administration-new-perspectives","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
