Public administration : the profession and the practice : a case study approach

A fresh alternative to the typical public administration text, Garvey's is the first text to combine a solid analytical framework with in-depth cases portraying the vital, human side of public administration. Garvey's cases turn abstract concepts into human narratives, guiding students through the kind of ongoing, multi-level problems real public administrators face.
