This classic textbook blends historical accounts with contemporary events discussion, and examines the most important issues in the field of public administration through the use of examples from various disciplines and modern culture. This approach, using extensive case studies at the end of each chapter, encourages students to think critically about the nature, purpose, and public value of public administration today.
