holds dear with this affordable CENGAGE ADVANTAGE BOOKS version of
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: CLASHING VALUES IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
PUBLIC POLICY. This textbook uses a "clash of values" approach that
gets to the heart of how administrators make decisions and
implement public policy. Case studies and examples capture the
intricacies of this unique area of political science. You'll also
investigate the role public administrators play throughout the
policy process, including targeting a problem, placing it on the
government's agenda, structuring the alternatives that elected
officials use, implementing public policy through the programs and
procedures they largely determine, and finally, evaluating the
success or failure of a policy. Finally, you'll explore the
reorganization of the national bureaucracies following the 9/11
attacks that prompted the enactment of the PATRIOT Act and the
establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.
