Now in an extensively revised eleventh edition, Introducing Public Administration provides students with the conceptual foundation they need, while introducing them to important trends in the discipline. This timeless textbook—blending historical accounts with contemporary events—examines the most important issues in the field of public administration through political, economic, social, and managerial perspectives. Its approach of using wide-ranging case studies at the end of each chapter encourages students to think critically about the nature, purpose, and public value of public administration today.

Comprehensively revised and refreshed by a new author team, the eleventh edition contains critical updates for the field:



An all-new chapter on nonprofit organizations, and their role in cooperating with, supporting, and providing a growing number of government services.
An all-new chapter on financing government services and debt, including a case study on Tariffs.
A thoroughly revised chapter on federalism and intergovernmental relations, with a case study on federal versus state roles in emergency management.
A completely revised chapter on evaluation and accountability, with an extensive overview of evaluation processes and methods.
A new prologue exploring the role of public administration in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Careful examination throughout the book of recent court cases and legal decisions that impact government policymaking, administrative processes, and restructuring/reform efforts, with special attention given to the Trump administration’s second term.

Complete with fully updated instructor support materials including teaching slides for each chapter, a chapter-by-chapter instructor’s manual and sample syllabus, student learning objectives, and self-test questions, Introducing Public Administration, 11th Edition is the ideal introduction to the discipline for first year graduate students, as well as for the growing number of undergraduate public administration courses and programs.
