Public management stands at the intersection of theory and practice. It seeks to help scholars frame questions that will improve their understanding of how policy ideas become transformed into practice and to help government managers see past the narrow issues on their desks to the broader implications of their work. In this work, the authors bring together contributors who focus on the interdisciplinary nature of public management. Scholars from the social sciences - economics, political science, sociology and psychology - examine what traditional disciplines bring to the debate. Other analysts build on this foundation to probe the theoretical bases of, and practical solutions for public management.
