Governance and Public Administration

Abstract Over the years, the study of Public Administration has seen many fashions come and go, often fun, sometimes instructive, rarely long-lived; this chapter focuses on the currently fashionable notion of ‘governance’. It is widely used, supplanting the commonplace ‘government’, but does it have a distinct meaning? What does it tell us about the challenges facing the study and practice of Public Administration? The coming of the New Right with its love of markets heralded lean times for Public Administration.
