Inhaltsangabe

Marc Holzer and Richard Schwester have written an appealing new textbook for the introductory course in Public Administration.

Public Administration: An Introduction is both comprehensive and cutting-edge, covering not just the basic topics (budgeting, human resource management, etc.), but also new realities in public administration:

-innovations in e-government,

-the importance of new technology,

-changes in inter-governmental relations, especially the emphasis on inter-local and shared regional resources,

-public performance and accountability initiatives.

This textbook has been crafted with student appeal in mind. Each of the book's 14 chapters is generously illustrated with cartoons, quotes, and artworkùall reinforcing the book's theme that the field of PA is rooted in the cultural and political world. Each chapter features a listing of key terms, exercises, and additional resources.
