O knihe

A volume in Research in Public Management
Series Editor: Lawrence R. Jones, Naval Postgraduate School
Governing Fables: Learning from Public Sector Narratives advocates the
importance of narrative for public servants, exemplifies it with a rigorously selected
and analyzed set of narratives, and imparts narrative skills politicians and public
servants need in their careers. Governing Fables turns to narratology, the interdisciplinary
study of narrative, for a conceptual framework that is applied to a set of
narratives engaging life within public organizations, focusing on works produced
during the last twenty-five years in the US and UK. The genres discussed include British government narratives
inspired by and reacting to Yes Minister, British appeasement narratives, American political narratives, the
Cuban Missile Crisis narrative, jury decision-making narratives, and heroic teacher narratives. In each genre
lessons are presented regarding both effective management and essential narrative skills.
Governing Fables is intended for public management and political science scholars and practitioners interested
in leadership and management, as well as readers drawn to the political subject matter and to the genre of
political films, novels, and television series.
