American Public Service: Radical Reform and the Merit System is a collection of papers that examine the innovations, strategies, and issues found in the contemporary civil service reform debate. Offering diverse perspectives from expert contributors, this book presents matters concerning radical reform and the merit system at the federal, state, and local levels of government.
This volume offers fresh insight into the effects of merit system changes on employees. Divided into four sections, this book...

* Provides examples of ongoing changes and analyzes survey data from state managers
* Discusses a variety of key issues, such as the impact on racial inequality of moving from a protected class employment status to an unprotected at-will relationship
