AND RELALITIES
Administrative Studies, vol. 8(1989): 2, 105-116
The article concerns the problem of the continual expansion of the public sector in western
societies. ln Sweden the growth of costs public
sector has expanded more than in any other
country. This poses the question: how is the public sector to be managed?
The author analyzes the theme of public management from several perspectives: administration,
resource allocation, decline of public administration, planning, quasi-private management, evaluation and disillusionment. These theoretical frameworks are used as the basis for an analysis of the
situation present in the Swedish public sector.
However, each of these are significant in the
study of administration public in Finland.
