Understanding Canadian Public Administration examines the theoretical issues forming the field of public administration, as well as the practice of public administration in Canada, so that students develop the ability to make connections between theory and real-life cases and experiences. The new edition has been updated to include the latest government developments and studies, including coverage of the 2007 Auditor General’s Report, the Federal Accountability Act (FAA), and other steps being taken to reform the public service, including the Code of Conduct for Public Servants, training initiatives, and the emerging “ethics bureaucracy”. As well, a new Chapter 13 (A Canadian Public Administration) explores whether there is a unique Canadian approach to public administration.

The Federal public service is constantly in a state of flux. Understanding Canadian Public Administration provides students with an overview of the essential theoretical issues in the field and an examination of the actual practice of public administration, from its historical context to the contemporary reality of rapid change.
Neither scholarly nor simplistic, Understanding Canadian Public Administration invites students to examine the issues of public administration from their own viewpoints and experiences by posing questions about day-to-day events that illustrate how public administration affects them.
This third edition features many updates on topical policy issues and new developments in the field, and has a new chapter that explores the intriguing question of whether there is a unique Canadian approach to public administration. [Chapter 13]
