Eisenhower was started on the road to the presidency by a mentor he found in the Panamanian rain forest How Florence Nightingale gathered statistics during the Crimean War that helped lead to contemporary program evaluation.
  introducing public administration 8th edition chapter summaries: Mastering Public Administration Jos C. N. Raadschelders, Brian R. Fry, 2022-07-13 Raadschelders and Fry provide a singular investigation into the influence of 10 scholars on contemporary public administration as well as how significant their work continues to be on contemporary research. In a field that is eclectic and pragmatic, it is only fitting that the diversity of the following scholars reflects the diversity of the field of public administration: Max Weber, Frederick W. Taylor, Luther H. Gulick, Mary Parker Follett, Elton Mayo, Chester Barnard, Herbert A. Simon, Charles E. Lindblom, Elinor Ostrom, and Dwight Waldo. The impacts of their personal life experiences on scholarly thought and their ideas about science and a science of public administration are used to enhance an examination of their ideas, concepts, and theories. The writings of such a wide-ranging group of scholars are also connected by a recognition of the growth and organizational independence of the field of public administration. For the Fourth Edition, a new perspective has been included: a review of Elinor Ostrom’s work provides valuable new material on organization and decision making that is applicable in many disciplines and across many fields. In addition, substantive updates to the scholarship and analysis found in each of the chapters in the book encourage new avenues for questions, insight, and exploration in the field of public administration.

Bu bakımdan her ülkenin kendine has özellikler sergilemesi kaçınılmazdır. Bu yüzden yerel yönetim konusu tek başına bir siyasi tercih veya yönetim birimi olmaktan ibaret değildir. Kentleşme, kırsal kalkınma, çevre, yönetim ve yönetişim gibi pek çok alan bu süreçlerin bir parçasıdır. Kitap kapağında bayrakları yer alan 26 ülke, dünyanın farklı bölgelerinden ve farklı yönetim şekillerine sahip ülkelerden seçilmiştir. Kitapta, bu ülkelerin siyasal ve yönetsel yapılanmaları ve yerel yönetimlerin idari ve mali yapıları yer almaktadır. Üniter ve federal yapılar birlikte incelendiği için çok farklı uygulamaları bir arada görmek mümkündür. Türkiye'nin AB süreci de göz önüne alınarak kitabın son bölümünde Avrupa Birliği'nde subsidiarite ilkesinin mali görünümüne yer verilmiş ve uygulamadaki farklılıklar ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca her bir ülke ele alınırken, bölüm sonlarında Türkiye ile karşılaştırması yapılarak değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur. Bu kadar farklı ülkenin bir arada yer alması aynı zamanda mukayese imkânı da sunmaktadır. Kitap içeriğinde bilindik ve alışageldik yerel yönetimler listesinde yer alan ülkeler dışında da ülke örnekleri yer bulmaktadır. Merkezî planlamadan piyasacı ekonomi anlayışına geçen ülkelerin bu kitap çalışmasında yer alması, uzak coğrafyalar ve literatürde az bilinen ülkelerin varlığı bu çalışmayı hem uzmanlar hem de araştırmacılar için değerli kılmaktadır. Unutulmamalıdır ki yerel halkın “toplam mutluluğu” iyi uygulamaların yaygınlaşması ile mümkün olacaktır.

  introducing public administration 8th edition chapter summaries: Freedom's Ordeal Peter Juviler, 2010-11-24 Fifteen countries have emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Freedom's Ordeal recounts the struggles of these newly independent nations to achieve freedom and to establish support for fundamental human rights. Although history has shown that states emerging from collapsed empires rarely achieve full democracy in their first try, Peter Juviler analyzes these successor states as crucial and not always unpromising tests of democracy's viability in postcommunist countries. Taking into account the particularly difficult legacies of Soviet communism, Freedom's Ordeal is distinguished by its careful tracing of the historical background, with special attention to human rights before, during, and after communism. Juviler suggests that the culture and practices of despotism may wither wherever modernization conflicts with tyranny and with the curtailment or denial of democratic rights and freedoms.
