About this title

Synopsis:

Rosenbloom and Kravchuk use a three part framework of management, politics, and the law as the basis for one of the most popular books for advanced courses in public administration. The text's analytic framework organizes the material of public administration to create a lasting understanding of the field.

From the Publisher:

New Public Management'Extensive coverage of "NPM"' is now included and is presented in neutral terms, which is unusual because most treatments advocate it.
Updated Scholarship'There is less coverage of federal administrative processes and more focus on the changes taking place in state and local administration.
Three perspectives'The text focuses on three perspectives (management, politics, law) and each is applied to all the main areas of public administration and each is tied to a constitutional function.
Comprehensive Coverage of Law'The text has chapters on "Regulatory Administration", "Public Administration and the Public", and "Public Administration and Democratic Constitutionalism". No other book treats law as comprehensively.
Pedagogy'The book has a number of useful aids such as: charts, figures, and glossary.
