Objectives

  • The course introduces students to some key concepts and theories in the study and reform of public sector management. People working in government organizations are significantly affected by general theories about public sector management. The effects of these theories may often be implicit and indirect, the result of unspoken cultural traditions or reforms imposed by central governments and only dimly understood by rank-and-file officials preoccupied with their immediate tasks. Nonetheless, their influence is profound. If government officials (or those who work closely with governments, for instance in NGOs) can become more critically aware of the basic ideas that help to shape and constrain their professional lives, they will be better placed to understand their own working environment and to make a constructive contribution to their agencies and communities. To aid this process of professional self-awareness, this course attempts to introduce students to the main general trends and theories in public sector management from a critical and comparative perspective. All countries in the modern world have systems of government that include permanent administrative organizations (departments or agencies) whose task it is to carry out the various functions of government, typically under the direction of political leaders and supervised by legislatures and courts. Although institutions of government administration are found everywhere, their formal structures and methods of operation have varied significantly over time and from country to country. A major aim of the course will be to identify the different constitutional traditions within which systems of public administration are located, as well as the different administrative challenges faced by countries at different stages of political and economic development. Another major theme of the course is the worldwide movement for public sector reform which has been extremely influential since the 1980s. Analyzing and assessing recent public sector reform requires an understanding of the various theoretical models that have underpinned the arguments for change.

Outcomes

  • • Understand the key concepts, ideas, theories and terminology associated with public administration and public sector management;
  • • Understand the main issues in key theoretical debates in public administration and public sector management;
  • • Apply relevant concepts and theories to individual cases in a comparative context;
  • • Understand the main principles in public sector reform and apply them to individual cases
