Summary
: 
Featuring contributions by many of Canada's most prominent scholars of public administration, Deputy Ministers in Canada examines a number of factors in the evolution of deputies' roles. Taking into account social, political, and administrative history, the essays probe topics such as the socio-economic characteristics of administrative elites, the politicization of recruitment processes, the impact of New Public Management, and varieties of ministerial-bureaucratic relations. Together, the essays in Deputy Ministers in Canada make an important contribution to the political science and public administration literature.
