Handbook on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Public Administration

Providing a comprehensive overview of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within individual, organizational, and societal contexts, this Handbook explores the multidimensional nature of DEI in public administration. It addresses the considerable influence that governing institutions have on societal norms, and acts as an important resource to inspire inclusion. A diverse collection of chapter authors explores the varying aspects of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and many more. They consolidate essential tools, theories, and frameworks applicable to the study of DEI in various policy and international contexts. Encouraging further research, this Handbook highlights how systemic oppression and inequality are still present in modern society, and it encourages all readers to take active roles in fostering DEI throughout public administration and beyond. The Handbook on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Public Administration is vital for scholars focusing on public administration, public policy, and non-profit management. It is also beneficial for practitioners seeking a clearer understanding of DEI.
