Public Administration

Administrative thought in the field of public administration in the first half of the last century was based on analyzing methods of performance in government work, and attributing them to two distinct elements: decision-making and implementation. Likewise, public administration is considered a science to which the scientific method can be applied. Striving to achieve competence in public jobs. In the second half of the last century, thought in the field of public administration began to move away from the complete separation between the field of politics and public administration, and the question of whether public administration is a science or an art has diminished. It is a science that has its own rules that apply in all circumstances and times. The importance of planning became apparent in this period, as many countries adopted the principle of national planning. The importance of studying public administration has also increased after its task has become more burdensome, responsible, and complex, to the point that today it affects most other sciences, such as medicine, psychology, economics, sociology, and others. The field employs the highest competencies and qualifications. The administration invests the efforts of lawyers, doctors, accountants, administrators and others in a way that leads to achieving the goals and objectives of society. This book includes thirteen chapters that review all aspects of public administration as a science and as a practice.
