β¦ Synopsis
Marc Holzer and Richard Schwester have written a fresh and highly engaging textbook for the introductory course in Public Administration.
Their coverage is both comprehensive and cutting edge, not just including all the basic topics (OT, budgeting, HRM), but also reflecting new realities in public administration:
- Innovations in e-government
- The importance of new technology
- Changes in intergovernmental relations, especially the emphasis on inter-local and shared regional resources
- Public performance and accountability initiatives
Public Administration has been crafted with student appeal in mind. Each of the bookβs 14 chapters is generously and colorfully illustrated with cartoons, quotes, and artworkβall reinforcing the bookβs theme that the field of PA is rooted in the cultural and political world. Each chapter is also supported with a listing of key terms, exercises, and additional resources.
