How to Run Public Administration

This week we ask: How should you run the public administration? Should administration be close to or insulated from politics? And what should the role of private and other non-state actors be? We’re focusing this week on public administration. While mention of the word bureaucracy rarely lifts hearts, it’s incredibly important for the development of public policy, for the delivery of public services, and for all the other things that the state does. To consider how public administration can be run well, UCL Uncovering Politics is joined by Marc Esteve, Professor of International Public Management in the UCL Department of Political Science.
