Recensioner i media

Original Reviews of Public Administration in Africa:‘Public Administration in Africa represents a major reanalysis of Africa’s civil services and overall government organization…comprehensively linked to a broader political perspective…The contributors [are] all accomplished scholars or practitioners, and all but one of whom is African, something that provides an impressive degree of authenticity…The volume’s organization makes it especially friendly for the student.’ Joshua Forrest, Canadian Journal of African Studies Vol 34, No. 2 (2000)‘This volume provides a long-overdue overview of public administration in Africa…Comprehensive in its topical coverage…it reports valuable information…and is written in an accessible manner. It introduces key concepts in public administration and offers fresh insights into the experiences of putting them into practice.’ Goran Hyden, Transforming Anthropology, Vol 10, No. 1 (2001)
