Exploring Public Administration: An Introduction

By Casey J. Fleming and Samantha L. Mosier

With an approachable "pracademic" perspective that blends theory with on-the-job experience, Exploring Public Administration offers an engaging introduction to public administration. Authors Samantha Mosier and Casey Fleming use specific examples and clear prose to illustrate the dynamics between public management and policymaking across the federal, state, local, and nonprofit levels. Practitioner-written case studies connect concepts to practice and offer insight into the day-to-day work of public servants, and a chapter on getting into the civil service offers advice for students considering a career in the field.
