Este libro aborda el sector público desde las políticas públicas, la nueva gestión pública, la ciencia de la administración pública y la gobernanza.

Their enduring impact was the creation of a 1960s frame of reference among millions of baby boomers, whose attitudes and aspirations continue to reflect the hip ethos of their youth.
