One is left agreeing that good public administration is a cornerstone of democratic governance but that its application requires much more than textbook knowledge." - Peter Shergold, Chancellor, Western Sydney University, Australia "This book is among the best empirical analyses of Australian departmental secretaries in situ to date." - John Wanna, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University and Griffith University, Australia "Christine Shearer's book is an important contribution to understanding the 'purple zone' between politics and administration. The book's strength comes from presenting the perspective of those directly involved, current and former Australian departmental secretaries." - Andrew Podger, Honorary Professor of Public Policy, Australian National University, Australia "Christine Shearer's terrific exploration of trends in contemporary public administration is essential reading for anyone wanting to make sense of how things work in government. Her clear-eyed study, drawing on interviews with senior public servants, confirms that grand reform ideas must work through complex - often invisible - gear shifts before the rubber meets the road. This book is a treasure trove of insights." - Michael Mintrom, Professor of Public Policy and Director of Better Governance and Policy, Monash University, Australia. This book draws on empirical research to provide unique insight into the craft of public administration of the most senior echelons of the Australian Public Service (APS). An analysis is offered of public sector reforms and contemporary management ideas on which theywere based, from the 1980s across Westminster polities. This book addresses how Departmental Secretaries construct their craft today amid such reforms, concluding with a conceptual model of the craft of public administration and implications for theory and practice. Christine Shearer is an Executive Director within the Australian Tax Office. 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPublic Management 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPublic Management. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a320.441 676 $a351.41 700 $aShearer$b Christine$01080739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910523754703321 996 $aConstructing the Craft of Public Administration$92594047 997 $aUNINA
