Dwivedi Publisher: University of Toronto Press Print ISBN: 9781551112718, 155111271X eText ISBN: 9781442602601, 1442602600 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 1999 Format: PDF Available from $ 27.95 USD SKU 9781442602601 This book is about the systems of values, traditions, perceptions, and meanings existing in the Canadian federal public service since the First World War. Surveying that history, it considers the conflict of values arising from the attempt to add New Public Management values to older bureaucratic ones. These tensions are looked at from an ethical viewpoint, but also from that of the relationship between ends and means. Are the means proposed really likely to meet the ends proclaimed? Attempts to change a culture from the top down run against daily realities; the interests, training, and experience of all employees, elites, and others. Authors Dwivedi and Gow intend this overview to enable readers to appreciate the complex world of Canada's public servants. A joint publication with The Institute of Public Administration of Canada.
