Description
The quality and efficiency of public administration play a vital role in economic and social development. The concept of development administration was emerged within the broad spectrum of public administration discourse, when the traditional notions of governance failed to provide institutional efficiency, effective public service delivery and socio-economic development of the poor countries of the world. The term was broadly used to identify the new approach to administration that promotes faster administrative efficiency and development goals in the post-colonial countries of Asia and Africa. In fact, in many of the developing countries, development administration has played a critical role in transforming the paternalistic bureaucracy and centralised administration machinery into an innovative and change oriented public management system based on service delivery and performance. Hence, as an approach and practice, development administration implies a wide variety of activities including integrated rural development, citizens participation, implementation of various poverty eradication programs, empowerment of women, participatory healthcare delivery, environmental management and sustainable development. Recently, with the proliferation of digital administration tools, e-governance initiatives are also included within the landscape of development administration. Against this context, this book presents the emerging trends in development administration across the world, with special emphasis on developing countries. The book narrates how the myriad challenges of poverty, under development and participation are addressed through efficient use of resources and administration. The book contains high quality research papers that explain and analyse the practice of development administration in different political and economic contexts.
