Public administration is considered to be a field of practice. Yet, as an academic discipline it relies on a vast history of literature. Students preparing to embark on their careers must identify theoretical relationships and understand how they link to practice. This book offers a framework to help them decipher key approaches. The framework is presented in 3 main conceptual components with prescriptions for practice: Constitutional (the bureaucrat), Discretionary (the entrepreneur), and Collaborative/Direct Democratic (the steward). The textbook includes a course outline for instructors and corresponding lecture slides on CD, and question and answer sets for students.

The framework for public administration theory and practice is presented in three traditions of main prescriptions for practice: Constitutional (the bureaucrat), Discretionary (the entrepreneur), and Collaborative (the steward). This book is appropriate for use in graduate-level courses that explore the philosophical, historical, and intellectual foundations of public administration. Upon qualified course adoption, instructors will gain access to a course outline and corresponding lecture slides.
