How critical is P.A. contemplation and nudges - prods, shoves or hammer blows - to government-in-context?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, David John Farmer argues that government-in-context refers to government-in-totality, to what governs even if not called government and to what constrains government action. Constricting contextual features are infiltration, exfiltration and post-truth, raising questions relating to democracy. Infiltration into government is the action of gaining access that benefits big corporations, their owners and billionaires; findings are that it also mal-nudges government action through such elements as big money, lobbying, tax breaks and embrace of the free market. Reacting to factors like growing income inequality, what is explained as exfiltration occurs for middle- and lower-income people. Post-truth is noted as the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year for 2016, describing people concerned less with truths than with opinions. The book analyzes three practical \"hammer blow\" and 18 \"shove\" nudges to contradict the mal-nudges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Public Administration\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to P.A. scholars and graduate students, more specifically those interested in critical, normative, or interpretive scholarship focused on various aspects of P.A. theory, governance, and practical management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David John Farmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032089229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032089225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"David John Farmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181411627263,"sku":"9781032089225","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_275ebfcf-3db1-47ae-8a49-0b73cecfb12d.jpg?v=1690260306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-public-administration-david-john-farmer-9781032089225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
