- Synopsis
- This textbook for public administration students details the administrative process in US government and public policy. Kettl (political science and leadership, U. of Pennsylvania) and the late Fesler, who was a professor of government at Yale U. , cover what government does and how it does it, organizational theories and structures, the role of individuals, and how administrative agencies accomplish their work. This edition includes new material on accountability; discusses the debate about the increase of executive power that accompanied the Bush administration; has updated and new tables and figures; and integrates case studies within the text, with new and updated cases on such as topics as waterboarding, the economic bailout of 2008, and the use of Tasers by police. A companion website is also new. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
