New Public Administration

A foundational exploration of social equity, public service, and the transformation of modern government.

In New Public Administration, H. George Frederickson presents a landmark examination of one of the most influential movements in modern public administration. Challenging traditional bureaucratic models, Frederickson explores how public institutions can become more responsive, equitable, and accountable to the citizens they serve. Emphasizing social equity, ethical governance, and the relationship between public organizations and society, this classic work continues to shape contemporary discussions of public service, government reform, and administrative leadership. This book will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, political science, public policy, government management, and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of effective and equitable public service.
