Towards a New Civic Bureaucracy : Lessons from Sustainable Development for the Crisis of Governance, Paperback / softback Book

Towards a New Civic Bureaucracy : Lessons from Sustainable Development for the Crisis of Governance Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In this timely analysis, Matthew J. Quinn plots a landmark reimagination of governance and public administration, underpinned by sustainable development and civic republicanism. He draws on governance literature and Foucault's concept of governmentality to demonstrate the anachronism of existing bureaucratic norms and how these have thwarted sustainability and fuelled right-wing populism.

Using international examples and the author's own extensive experience in sustainability governance as a senior UK official, the book proposes a new civic bureaucracy which fosters societal engagement and dialogue.

It sheds new light on debates about the emerging crisis of governance, the role of public bureaucracy and the means to embed sustainability in governance.
