"In Professionalism and Public Service, leading scholars in the field assess the state of public administration in Canada and move the discipline forward on both the professional and the academic level." "The contributors to this volume trace the evolution of public administration institutions, explore issues such as the protection and improvement of the public service, describe recent innovations in the area of service delivery, and assess how these developments have increased the legitimacy of public administration among citizens. The various chapters also study recent advances in teaching methods and examine the importance of ongoing learning and training within the public service, both for students as well as for public administration practitioners." "Written in honour of Kenneth Kernaghan, the groundbreaking scholar who played an important role in public administration in Canada, Professionalism and Public Service highlights some of his lasting contributions to the discipline. It is a history of the recent evolution of an essential part of Canadian governance and a fitting tribute to a distinguished scholar."--Jacket
