Features: Public Administration is one of the foundational courses for the field of Public Administration. This book draws on the latest research findings in public administration both domestically and internationally, particularly by drawing upon and analyzing the new perspectives on public administration research from Western developed countries in the 1990s. It systematically elaborates on fundamental theories of public administration, such as administrative organization, administrative leadership, administrative decision-making, administrative communication, administrative psychology, administrative supervision, agency management, personnel administration, financial administration, administrative legislation, administrative culture, and administrative development, while clarifying the trends of administrative modernization. Compared to the edition, the second edition has significantly expanded in length, adding 50 pages of content from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, as well as supplementing over ten case studies. These case studies and problem-solving exercises help readers deepen their understanding and mastery of relevant concepts and principles. As part of the Fudan University MPA series, this book is suitable not only as a core textbook for MPA programs but also as a professional textbook for undergraduate and associate degree programs in public administration.
