Indeks : p.263-271 This book is one of several that currently exemplify the emergence of a broad community of European scholars of public administration and public management that can rival, in breadth and diversity, the long-looked-up-to US. Community. It presents an overview of the state of the art of the scientific study of public management in various European states and the United States. It shows the national distinctiveness in the study of public management in a number of European countries, which although probably well known to the inhabitants of those countries, is hardly known to the outside international, predominantly English-speaking, community. The relatively unknown and fairly recent European management sciences are compared to the well-known, large and established field in the United States. Moreover a comparison is made between the various approaches in different European countries by relating the scientific characteristics to the specificities of the respective states and administrations.
