New publication from Anne Lise Fimreite and Jacob Aars

Anne Lise Fimreite and Jacob Aars from the department have published a new textbook for students of political science!

In Studying Public Administration (å studere offentlig politikk), readers gain valuable insight into what public administration is and how it is organized. Where is the line between politics and professional expertise? And who actually holds power within the public sector? In a world marked by political unrest, increasing complexity in governance, and growing attention to the role of public administration, this new book by Fimreite and Aars is a timely and important contribution to the literature.

This is not a book soley for highly interested readers. It is a resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how our society is actually governed. While designed as a textbook for political science students, the book covers themes and perspectives that are highly relevant to many of today`s most pressing political debates. Todays society is shaped global crises, increasing polarization and rapid change. This book equips readers with useful tools and perspectives for analyzing and understanding the role of public administration – not only as an implementer of political decisions, but also as an independent actor in its own right. 

Congratulations to Anne Lise and Jacob on the publication of their new book!
