PUBLIC SERVICES IN INDIA: Current Good Practices and New Developments in Public Services Management

Public sector reform has moved on apace since the first of the Commonwealth Profile Series was launched in 1995 when the principles of New Public Management (NPM) were in an early stage of adoption. Since then, the various civil services described in the series have undergone radical change in scope, organisation and approach rendering a revision timely.

Now up-dated and completely revised, these re-issued Country Profiles continue to be an accessible and valuable source of reference which attempt to both describe and analyse the often tumultuous and controversial public sector reforms which have taken place in contributing countries since 1995.

Practising bureaucrats, diplomats, political and academic audiences will find this revised series invaluable in seeking to benchmark best practice in public sector reform across Commonwealth member countries.
