Public Administration

Introduction

Public Administration is the implementation of government policy and the management of public affairs and services. It involves organizing, managing, and overseeing the functioning of government agencies, programs, and services that serve the public. Public administration plays a vital role in ensuring that government decisions and laws are put into action effectively and efficiently.

The field is interdisciplinary, drawing from political science, management, law, economics, sociology, and other disciplines. It aims to create and implement policies that promote the public good, ensure justice, and improve citizens’ quality of life. Public administrators are responsible for managing resources, providing services, and ensuring accountability and transparency in government operations.
