The third edition of Kettl (U. of Pennsylvania) and Fesler's (Yale U.) textbook has been fully updated and completely revised to place public administration even more fully within its political contexts and to focus more explicitly on how the governmental system translates broad policy ideas into frontline results. Changes to the text include revised chapters on civil service, budgeting, implementation, government regulation, judicial and legislative oversight; a new chapter on human capital; the incorporation of new issues such as homeland security; and a new appendix of 14 "ripped from the headlines" cases applying the text's theories to cutting-edge problems of practice.
