The extraordinary works and contributions of writers with different backgrounds ranging from academics to bureaucrats make this book rich in treasures to see how far the scientific development of public administration is dealing with global conditions which are currently starting to show signs of revival. At the same time, we can learn from when local to national governments have to work hard to provide public policies in the form of a stimulus to help the country get out of the problems caused by disease outbreaks. This book is contained of 38 selected writings that can be an excellent literature for for those who seek for reference on public policy. In addition, this book is expected to ignite further discussions within the scientific scope. Apart from the various shortcomings, we apologize profusely and hopefully this book can provide benefits to the wider community. We thank the authors and editors who have contributed their best energy, thoughts, and works.
Rendahnya kualitas pelayanan publik ini bermuara pada satu pertanyaan signifikan, yaitu bagaimana sumber daya manusia penyelenggara pelayanan publik bekerja, mengingat sumber daya manusia atau birokratlah yang bertugas menyelenggarakan pelayanan publik. Sayangnya tak kalah dengan rendahnya kualitas pelayanan publik di Indonesia, isu tentang rendahnya kemampuan aparat dalam penyelenggaraan layanan publik di Indonesia juga kian mengemuka. Lebih sayang lagi, gambaran suram kemampuan birokrat ini juga diperkuat oleh lemahnya birokrasi dalam hal manajemen sumber daya manusia.

Responding to the renewed emphasis on the significance of village studies, this book focuses on aging bachelorhood as a site of intolerable angst when faced with rural depopulation and social precarity. Based on ongoing ethnographic fieldwork in contemporary Macedonian society, the book explores the intersections between modernity, kinship and gender. It argues that as a critical consequence of demographic rupture, changing values and societal shifts, aging bachelorhood illuminates and challenges conceptualizations of performativity and social presence.
The 'feminisation of poverty' is viewed as a global trend, and of particular concern in developing regions. Yet although popularisation of the term may have raised women's visibility in development discourses and gone some way to 'en-gender' policies for poverty reduction, the construct is only weakly substantiated. This work covers this topic.
This book explores the concepts of sustainability and governance in relation to the governance of corporations – hence the ubiquity of the term corporate governance – and other bodies. It examines how these concepts are regularly used by politicians and by the media. The two concepts are however largely treated as being separate and discrete, and given equal coverage. The argument in this book is that the two concepts are inter-related and that good governance is a prerequisite for sustainability. The focus of the book therefore is different from most, as it seeks to integrate these two important issues. The approach used in this book is based on the tradition of the Social Responsibilit...
This book uses organisational theory to explore how power and leadership operate in development organisations in different contexts and at different levels.

Notions of exceptionalism within the development sector mean that lessons from other organisational contexts are often disregarded or deemed irrelevant. In examining the way that culture operates in organisational and leadership analysis and in development thinking and approaches, the book invites closer attention to modes of organising and leading. The book examines development exceptionalism and the leader...
