This handbook sheds light on the politics of public administration from different angles. Public administration is a vague concept. It entails the organizational body of the state as well as the process of public management and service delivery within this organization. Public administration hence includes both structure and agency, which makes it prone to politics. Politics includes all aspects of negotiation and influence seeking in the definition and solution of public problems and the pursuit of public welfare. We employ the two dimensions of public organization in politics and politics within public administration to structure the contributions in this volume. After presenting the two dimensions of the politics of public administration in the different contributions that discuss specific aspects of each dimension in-depth, a third part of this volume is dedicated to the politics of public administration in different countries.
