Features: As an introductory text in public administration, this book presents readers with a brand-new theoretical framework that is oriented towards public administration as a first-level discipline, rather than mere administrative studies. It aims to combine the values and techniques of public administration, organically linking its fundamental elements and processes, enabling readers to gain both a holistic understanding and practical tools and methods to solve real-world problems. This is a theoretical framework in public administration constructed by Chinese scholars. The book effectively addresses relationships such as general management vs. public administration, foreign public administration vs. Chinese public administration, government management vs. social public organization management, macro systems vs. micro methods, and basic values vs. specific tools. It accurately grasps the essence and principles of public administration from a macro perspective, revealing the logical system, inherent values, and methodological tools embedded in public administrative practice. It is a truly authoritative work that is oriented toward the first-level discipline of public administration.
