Research in Public Administration and Public Management has distinctive features that influence the choices and application of research methods.

In a dynamic political context, the focus lies on solving societal problems whilst also using methodological principles to do scientifically sound research.

It is succinct but covers a wide variety of research strategies, including action research, experiments, case studies, desk research, systematic literature reviews and more. It pays attention to issues of design, sampling, research ethics and data management. This textbook does explain the role of theory, but also offers many international examples and practical exercises. It takes the reader through the journey of research, starting with the problem definition, choice of theory, research design options and tools to achieve impactful research.
New and revised material includes, but is not limited to:
A closer look at popular methods like the experiment and the systematic literature review;
