The combination of biographical narrative with explanation and analysis makes abstract theories understandable while showing how subject scholars relate to each other in their work, providing much needed context. The book's chronological organization shows the evolution of public administration theory over time. With the new edition, the authors have added mini-chapters that link contemporary scholars and their research to the seminal literature. INDICE: PrefaceAbout the AuthorsIntroduction1.
