Public Administration by Denhardt

Public Administration (Suggested Readings) Book-01 

The new public service articulates an integral set of norms and practices that put a strong emphasis on democracy and citizenship as vital pillars of the theory and practice of public administration. This article deepens the essential arguments of the new public service while examining the ways in which these concepts have been applied and analyzed in the last fifteen years. The authors finally conclude that although neither the principles of the new public service nor those of the new public management have been established as a predominant paradigm, the ideals of the new public service and their associated concepts have constantly gained prominence within the areas of scholarship and the practice of public administration. This evolution reflects the importance of democratic commitment and active citizenship in the configuration of effective public governance.
