Many of the prevailing concepts and practices of public administration were developed and formulated around the centrality of the State and public administration in the process of national development. While the role of the State in national development continues to be important, consensus is shifting about the precise functions to be assigned to the State vis-a-vis other institutions and non-governmental organizations, and the appropriate modalities for discharging different national functions. For example, while maintaining a policy role, many States have opted for competition in a variety of service delivery areas. The application of market mechanisms in place of administrative action in economic activity is now widely recognized and increasingly applied in many countries. Public management is being affected by two seemingly contradictory forces. On the one hand, many national issues have been redefined by globalization trends: environmental concerns; human rights; economic, trade and aid imperatives; and the need for international standards. Hence the book would be of great help to those who are already concentrating on this subject and students of universities. This book has been designed so as to make the students, scholars and teachers informed of the principles of this subject.
