A great books list for government.(The Bookshelf)(Bibliography)
Summer and the time for "beach reads" is almost over. Perhaps now is the time to turn to the serious side and devote some time to reading, or rereading,something that might challenge you to think about your profession in public service. So where do you start?
For several decades, the National Academy of Public Administration has recognized outstanding contributions to the literature of public administration through the Louis Brownlow Book Award.
The award recognizes outstanding contributions on topics of wide contemporary interest to practitioners and scholars in the field of public administration. Generally, it is made to an author who provides new insights, fresh analysis, and original ideas that contribute to the understanding of the role of governmental institutions and how they can most effectively serve the public.
While such a list is by no means exhaustive of the valuable books in the field, it provides a perspective that can lead to further study on various topics. Listed below are some of the Brownlow Award winners from recent years to get you started.
