This book helps readers understand public-sector governance arrangements and the implications these arrangements have for public management practice and policy outcomes by presenting information in a non-technical way"--  a"Democracy means rule by the people. In a democracy, administration must be constructed in such a way that it serves the people through their elected representatives. The connection between the public and any given administrative action may be quite distant, but it must be in place. Accountability of public management to the popular will may be weak or attenuated, but the arrangements might be justified on other grounds. In any event, the problem of connecting the public with administration must be confronted. It is quite possible that some members of the polity, fully believing in the democratic process, disagree with an administered decision that is without democratic defect. In other words, even with democratic accountability, what government produces may not be the policy that you want"--8 aIGS 0aPublic administration. 0aGovernment accountability. 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General.2bisacsh954161 aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks  2ddccBK  c12691d12691  00102ddc4070aIGSbIGScGENd2012-08-01eRiza Enterprizeg2240.00l1m2o351 BERp3010025780r2014-06-09s2013-02-14t1v4480.00w2012-08-01yBK
