From the Back Cover

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]
