Philosophy and PA: A (Developing) Research Agenda. 330 $aThis open access book provides a novel framework for understanding the connections between philosophy and public administration. It proposes four key directions of inquiry to help better understand the relationship between these two areas of research and practice: philosophy for public administration, mapping backwards, aligning philosophy and public administration, and philosophy of public administration. Each of these directions of inquiry are analyzed in turn, underlining the functions that philosophy applied to public administration perform, and the ways in which philosophy and philosophical thinking can benefit the development of public administration and governance. A research program outlining the features of a philosophy of public administration for the 21st century is delineated. An essential read for both academics and practitioners, the book will appeal to all those interested in public administration, public management, governance, and philosophy. Edoardo Ongaro is Professor of Public Management at The Open University, UK. . 410 0$aFoundations of Government and Public Administration,$x2523-7632 ;$v1 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aPublic Management 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aPublic Management. 615 24$aPhilosophy. 676 $a351.01 700 $aOngaro$b Edoardo$0149101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034573803321 996 $aConnecting Philosophy and Public Administration$94449382 997 $aUNINA
