CHOICE Review

This in-depth, authoritative dictionary pays close attention to the words used in the complex field of public management. Concepts, theories, and vocabulary are drawn from many areas of theory and practice including law, economics, management, politics, psychology, and military planning and strategy. This language is dynamic with new terms constantly added and old ones evolving. Bhatta (formerly Victoria Univ., Wellington, NZ; now Asian Development Bank) researched books, journals, Web sites, international research and government reports, and legal documents to find the current relevant vocabulary included here. Entries are alphabetical and usually two to three sentences in length, with many see and see also references. Many entries also provide references and sources for further information. This pioneering work in a subject area that has not yet fully matured provides not only definitions but connections, origins, references, and even opinions. Well-written and fairly comprehensive, it belongs in most academic collections, especially those serving researchers, public service providers, scholars, faculty, and students interested and involved in public management. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
