Public Administration (with InfoTrac)

LeMay's "clash of values" approach gets to the heart of how administrators make decisions and implement public policy-and provides conceptual continuity to this provocative new text. Engaging, disparate case studies and examples grab the reader's imagination, capturing the full essence and intricacies of this unique area of political science. Fully integrated Internet resources keep the material up-to-date, and encourage students to explore topics through independent research.
