This book marks apart of the Golden Jubilee celebration ofthe prestigious Indian Institute of Public Administration, founded by Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru in 1954. It is the outcome of the dialogue, debate andpresentation made at the two-day (December 12-13, 2003) National Conference onPublic Administration in 21st Century organized by Prof. Noorjahan Bava, Member,Executive Council, IIPA. A galaxy of public administrators from universitiesacross the country and senior administrators who participated in the Conferencetook cognizance of the paradigm shift in Public Administration towardsPostmodernism, New Public Management, Good Governance, E-governance etc. inresponse to the sea-change in world environment and national milieu caused byunprecedented global developments and events in the last 50 years. No wonder, today the landscape, contours and approaches to the study and practice of Public Administration stand vastly transformed/metamorphosed! About the Author Prof. Noorjahan Bava, the Editor of the book retired eight years ago as Professor of Political Science, University of Delhi after 42 years of distinguished service in teaching, training, research and writing in Public Administration/Political Science.
