Sommario/riassunto |
|
Public administration in Canada needs to change. In their recognizably rebellious style, the authors demand that public administration scholars and senior level bureaucrats pull their heads out of the sand and confront the problems of the current system and develop a new system that can address the needs of Canada today. |
