Newly Published Book Explores Public Administration in the Nordic Context

Diogo Pereira,

The latest addition to the Governance and Public Management series, titled Finnish Public Administration: Nordic Public Space and Agency, delves into the intricacies of public governance in Finland. Edited by Elias Pekkola, Jan-Erik Johanson, and Mikko Mykkänen, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of Finnish public administration. 

The book addresses key themes relevant to the Finnish administrative landscape, with in-depth examinations of health policy, budgeting processes, and education policy. By doing so, it provides readers with a nuanced understanding of the challenges and dynamics shaping public administration in Finland. 

A distinctive feature of the publication is its focus on situating Finnish public administration within the broader context of Nordic administrative developments. This comparative approach offers valuable insights into the unique aspects of Finnish governance while highlighting shared trends and practices across the Nordic region. 

As part of the Governance and Public Management series, published by the International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) in collaboration with Palgrave, the book aligns with the series' commitment to delivering high-quality research to a global audience. The series emphasizes diverse perspectives and approaches, reflecting the IIAS's dedication to maintaining a neutral and objective voice based on factual evidence. 

Finnish Public Administration: Nordic Public Space and Agency is poised to become an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the Finnish administrative system and its broader implications within the Nordic context.
