{"product_id":"the-new-public-service-serving-not-steering","title":"The New Public Service: Serving  Not Steering","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe New Public Service: Serving  not Steering provides a framework for the many voices calling for the reaffirmation of democratic values  citizenship  and service in the public interest. It is organized around a set of seven core principles: (1) serve citizens  not customers; (2) seek the public interest; (3) value citizenship and public service above entrepreneurship; (4) think strategically  act democratically; (5) recognize that accountability isnt simple; (6) serve  rather than steer; and (7) value people  not just productivity. The New Public Service asks us to think carefully and critically about what public service is  why it is important  and what values ought to guide what we do and how we do it. It celebrates what is distinctive  important  and meaningful about public service and considers how we might better live up to those ideals and values. The revised fourth edition includes a new chapter that examines how the role and significance of these New Public Service values have expanded in practice and research over the past 15 years. Although the debate about governance will surely continue for many years  this compact  clearly written volume both provides an important framework for a public service based on citizen discourse and the public interest and demonstrates how these values have been put into practice. It is essential reading fo students and serious practitioners in public administration and public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984035639349,"sku":"ByrdShop_1138891258","price":63.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781138891258.jpg?v=1770819283","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-public-service-serving-not-steering","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
