Description and Table of Contents
Description
Explores two themes in depth: the importance of civil society in public administration as well as the growing role of information technology, including the role of government in combating misinformation and disinformation.
Includes three new chapters in this edition on public administration's role in community resilience, public administration and public health, and a complete rewrite of a chapter on managing information resources in public organizations.
Covers new topics such as the need for better disaster and pandemic planning at all levels of government, a need for greater preparedness related to global climate change, the worsening of the wealth inequality gap in the U.S., America's changing role in the world's economy, efforts to achieve racial, economic, and social equality and the response from government, and the increasing and evolving relationship between police and the community in the U.S.
Provides fully updated pedagogical tools including chapter summaries, discussion questions, brief case studies, case study discussion questions, key terms, and suggestions for further reading in each chapter, as well as accompanying instructor resource material that can be easily incorporated into Learning Management Systems (LMS), including Canvas and Blackboard.
