Public Administration - what's it all about?

Does the first association you have in mind while thinking about Public Administration evoke an image of piles of documents and files, stamps and slow civil servants? Does it remind you of a bureaucratic jungle of government agencies and authorities, boredom and dust?

There´s more to it than meets the eye – Public Administration offers a lot more than the common dry and fusty prejudices that come up as soon as you hear the word “Administration”.

Public Administration at the University of Bamberg is characterized by the following key issues:

• interactions of public administration, politicians and interest groups in policy formulation and implementation;
• organization, coordination, governance and human resource management of public administration;
• public administration and its environment;
• administrative reform and institutional politics.
