Description: Administrative Traditions : Understanding the Roots of Contemporary Administrative Behavior, Hardcover by Peters, B. Guy, ISBN 0198297254, ISBN-13 9780198297253, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Contemporary public administration reflects its historical roots, as well as contemporary ideas about how the public bureaucracy should be organized and function. This book argues that there are administrative traditions that have their roots centuries ago but continue to influence
administrative behaviour. Further within Western Europe, North America, and the Antipodes there are four distinctive administrative traditions: Anglo-American, Napoleonic, Germanic, and Scandinavian. These are not the only traditions however, and th also explores administrative traditions in
Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Islamic world. In addition, th contains a discussion of how administrative traditions of the colonial powers influenced contemporary administration in Africa, and how they continue to interact with traditional forms of governance. These
discussions of tradition and persistence are also discussed in light of the numerous attempts to reform and change public administration. Some administrative traditions have been more capable than others of resisting attempts at reform, especially those associated with the New Public Management.
