The Humanities and Public Administration

An Introduction
This perceptive book is a much-needed exploration of the contribution of the humanities to the study of public administration. Expert authors advocate for reintegrating the humanities into this field, highlighting the ways in which the social sciences and humanities complement each other in researching global governmental processes.

The Humanities and Public Administration presents a comprehensive analysis of how fields such as historiography, philosophy, religious studies, and the fine arts can shed light on under-explored aspects of administrative phenomena. Reflecting critically and systematically on the applications of these subject areas, chapters present exciting new approaches to understanding international public administration and public policy. Authors also emphasise the wider benefits of connecting the humanities as a whole to the study of social sciences.

This pioneering book is a vital read for academics and students in public administration and management, public governance, and public policy. It provides an illuminating insight into the interdisciplinary nature of both public administration and the humanities for all those interested in these fields.
