Responsibility and good governance.  a"In The Political Economy of Public Sector Governance, Anthony Michael Bertelli introduces core ideas in positive political theory as they apply to public management and policy. Though recent literature that mathematically models relationships between politicians and public managers provides insight into contemporary public administration, the technical way these works present information limits their appeal. 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"--cProvided by publisher.  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"--cProvided by publisher. 7aPublic administration.2BUEsh911812 7aGovernment accountability.2BUEsh942005  bBUSECOcFebruary2019bBUSBOLcFebruary20197 aManagement and Business Studies2blcoll423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011048918-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011048918-d.html413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011048918-t.html  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708MERICaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-02-13ePurchaseg153.15h000292l0o351 BERp000044182r2025-07-15 00:00:00w2019-02-13yBB
