Description

Explore the origins of governance with A History of Public Administration: Volume I by Routledge. Originally published in 1972, this work by Gladden addresses the growing trend of specialist history by attempting to balance the study of government with the study of administration. This book provides an investigation into the administrative context of earlier ages. It explores the idea that administration may not have changed much since the beginning of human society, much like human nature itself. It serves as a highly selective introductory history of this vast subject, looking at how early societies organized their functions and managed their affairs. Part of the Routledge Revivals series, this volume is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the evolution of administrative practices from the earliest times to the eleventh century. It offers a unique perspective on how the foundations of modern management and public service were laid in the ancient world.
