دانلود کتاب مدیریت عمومی و آسیب پذیری – زمینه سازی تغییر

This book locates the issue of ‘vulnerability’ in an international context, within public-sector reform processes, and goes beyond the conceptu-alization of existing concepts of policing and vulnerability to include multi- and intra-agency working. It uncovers many competing and con-tradictory conceptualisations of the phenomenon and shows how a vari-ety of agencies in different jurisdictions prioritise and operationalise this escalating 21st-century social problem.

Two recurring themes of this edited collection are the ways in which non-state organisations and agencies have become an acknowledged fea-ture of modern service delivery, and how the withdrawal of the state has heralded a perceptive shift from collective or community provision towards the stigmatization of individuals. Increasingly, public service professionals and ‘street level bureaucrats’ work in collaboration with non-state agents to attempt to ameliorate vulnerability. Chapter con-tributions were deliberately drawn from combinatory empirical, the-oretical, policy and practice fields, and diverse academic and policy/professional authors. Editors and authors deliberately cast their nets widely to provide integrative scholarship, and contributions from inter-national perspectives to confirm the complexity; and how socio/cultural, political and historic antecedents shape the definitions and responses to vulnerability.
