Government and Political Trust: The Quest for Positive Public Administration

Autor Grant Duncan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2024
If the government is a problem, what should be done about it? A new era of intervention has begun following a global pandemic, climate change and strategic rivalry – but will a better government emerge from this? Political turmoil and polarisation are causing people to question how well their societies are governed and how leaders conduct themselves, while urgent practical challenges are arising for public policy and administration. A deeper concern, then, is to re-examine the nature and problem of government itself.
This study covers historically enduring dilemmas that will persist, as well as emerging issues such as climate change and Artificial Intelligence. It sets out core concerns that systems of government, of all kinds, must address. The wide diversity of political beliefs and constitutions calls for toleration in order to foster effective collaboration across types and levels of government. Each country, community and individual follows their own path, but we can all do something to help restore political trust and to raise standards of public administration.
An essential guide for those seeking general and lasting principles of good government, including elected officials, civil servants, community leaders and students of politics and public policy.

Recenzii

"Combining impressive erudition and big-picture thinking with fluid and accessible writing, Grant Duncan makes us think, and think again, about the kind of government we should strive to have. Dodging the current zeitgeist of declinism and 'end of democracy' hypervigilance, this inspiring book offers a thoughtful analysis of what it looks and feels like for a society to be governed well."
Paul 't Hart, Professor of Public Administration, Utrecht University, Netherlands
 
"Grant Duncan is one of the most compelling academics working in the field today. Building on his well-received monograph How to Rule?, Duncan asks the question ‘what do we do about the obvious failings of contemporary government?’ and ultimately arrives at a set of fundamentally pro-democracy and problem-solving conclusions. This is a vital and optimistic contribution to debates around democracy and good government and should be a must read for anyone who worries about where our current politics is leading us. Highly recommended."
Charles Lees, Executive Dean of the School of Policy and Global Affairs; City, University of London, UK
