Many of the basic structures of Finnish public administration have remained intact during the country?s relatively short independence of 100 years, but Finland has been able to tackle major turbulence ranging from wars and financial crises to the Covid-19 pandemic. Finland has also had to adjust to greater European integration, a new constitution, an ageing population, increased globalization of markets, and climate change. Chapters in this volume examine a wide range of themes pertinent to Finnish public administration, including government, regionalisation, health care policy, performance management, budgeting, and higher education policy. Placing these themes within the wider context of Nordic administrative developments, the book showcases public administration in Finland as pragmatism in action. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, public management, public policyand Nordic studies. 410 0$aGovernance and Public Management,$x2524-7298 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aEuropean Politics 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 676 $a320.44897 701 $aPekkola$b Elias$01428721 701 $aJohanson$b Jan-Erik$01065260 701 $aMykkänen$b Mikko$01428722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746080403321 996 $aFinnish Public Administration$93565860 997 $aUNINA
