Marking the 97th anniversary of Woodrow Wilson’s landmark The Study of Administration, this major work focuses on Wilson, his times, and his widely discussed politics-administration di-chotomy.
The 21 distinguished contributors-brought together after a nationwide search for the finest writ-ing on this topic-weave a unique text that offers a single-source reference investigating the study as well as the practice of public administration ... presents a cohesive, original ac count of the subject by concentrating on Wilson’s contributions-an approach superior to that of the ordinary text ... and spotlights key current issues and challenges resulting from obser vations made during Wilson’s era.
Politics and Administration provides such an exceptional perspective of this field that it is sure to attain rapid recognition as the ideal textbook for graduate-level introductory public admin-istration or management, political science, and American history courses. What is more, ongo-ing examinations of public administration make this volume a requisite reference for political scientists, historians, public administrators, politicians, and sociologists.
