Description

Most public administration texts overly compartmentalize the subject and don’t interconnect the various specializations within government, which leaves a serious gap in preparing students for public service. Government: A Public Administration Perspective is designed to fill that void. It provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary view of government that includes perspectives from political science, political theory, international relations, organizational sociology, economics, and history. The text draws on classic and modern literature from all these areas to analyze government at four different levels – ideational, societal, organizational, and individual layers. It links public administration’s various subfields – human resource management, budgeting, policy making, organizational theory, etc. – into a holistic framework for the study of government. It also includes an extensive bibliography drawing from American and European literature in support of the book’s global, historical, and comparative approach.
