'Currently, public administration as art and science ponders a
challenging and uncertain future. Thus, no better time exists to
take stock and ponder the practical and theoretical value of its
topical coverage to date. Stazyk and Frederickson have assembled an
eclectic and impressive group of senior and junior scholars to join
them in this intellectual exercise. Collectively, the contributors
offer a stiletto-like dissection of where and how the field's
energy has been expended, what knowledge it has produced, what its
limitations are, and where future energies might best be expended.
Kudos to all.' - Robert F. Durant, American University, US This
forward-thinking Handbook draws on the expertise of established and
emerging scholars to provide a comprehensive review of the current
state and future direction of theory and practice in US public
administration. Chapters offer a cross-disciplinary, holistic
review of the field, pulling together leaders from subfields such
as public administration, public and nonprofit management, finance,
human resource management, networks, nonprofits, policy, and
politics. Chapter authors conclude that the field is intellectually
rich and highly nuanced, but also identify numerous opportunities
for growth and expansion in the coming years. The Handbook charts
an agenda for future research in the field. The Handbook of
American Public Administration is geared toward academics,
researchers, and advanced graduate students. As an authoritative
text on the history and state of US public administration, it
proves equally suitable for national and international audiences.
Practitioners who may be looking for background information or
