This mainstream US public administration text provides comprehensive coverage of all major aspects and areas of public administration. Each chapter topic is analyzed from three viewpoints - management, politics and law - allowing students the opportunity to explore the tensions and inter connections between the three perspectives. Rosenbloom's text, which appeared in its first edition in 1986, was the earliest to apply this now standard three-part framework to the study of US public administration. The new edition has been updated to include discussion of the effects of the Reagan/Bush years on public administrators. The constitutional aspects of public administration are clearly explained throughout the text and this is highlighted by a unique chapter - "Public Administration and Democratic Constitutionalism". A detailed study of regulatory analysis shows how regulation and service are interlinked (ch.9) and there is a unique chapter focusing on how public administrators deal with the public's concerns (ch.10). Highlights from the new edition include: a discussion of Reagan and Bush's political executives (ch.2); coverage of Total Quality Management (ch.4 ); material on workforce projections for the year 2000 (ch.5); analysis of the 1990 Federal Employees Comparability Act (ch.5); a completely revised budget discussion which includes the Budget Reinforcement Act of 1990; and an analysis of judicial emphasis on constitutional integrity. Also available is an instructor's manual/test bank (0-07-053938-3).
