The Public Administration Workbook de Dennis L. Dresang

The Public Administration Workbook

Autor Dennis L. Dresang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2025
Public administration is a craft that demands real-world application of concepts and theories often learned in a classroom. Yet many students find it difficult to make the leap from theory to practice unaided. The Public Administration Workbook, Ninth Edition is specifically designed with the theoretically grounded, practice-oriented student in mind. It reviews scholarship in political science, law, industrial psychology, and the sociology of organizations and then allows students to see how these intellectual fields inform the analytical and managerial tasks that comprise public administration. Where standard public administration textbooks examine the nature of public agencies and explain how bureaucracies relate to other institutions, this workbook promotes a more effective way of learning—by doing—and more directly prepares those who will pursue careers in public agencies.

Each chapter begins with a discussion of relevant concepts and scholarship before moving on to a hands-on exercise analyzing core analytical and management challenges. This edition incorporates nonprofit management into the discussion and examples in each chapter and explores the opportunities and challenges of AI for public administration. It also addresses the Trump presidency, recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the effects of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work changes to workforce dynamics, and capital budgeting and public budgeting needs. The book is further supported by a detailed Instructor’s Manual written by the author to guide instructors on solutions, explanations, and ideas for using or modifying the exercises to fit a variety of course needs. The Instructor’s Manual for the ninth edition offers suggestions for incorporating AI into specific exercises and into public administration more generally.

The Public Administration Workbook, Ninth Edition is an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on public administration in continuing education and professional training programs, as well as degree courses.

Recenzii

“The Public Administration Workbook has always been my go-to resource to prepare students for real-world applied knowledge. From the perspective of someone who teaches graduate-level courses in public budgeting, I cannot say enough when it comes to the workbook’s value as a hands-on tool to move beyond abstract concepts and directly engage with the practical skills students will need as public administrators. Dresang’s thoughtful integration of theory and application makes this an indispensable resource not just for students but also for instructors seeking to deliver a lasting, skills-based learning experience. It is more than a textbook—it is a toolkit for effective governance.”
Alejandro Rodriguez, Associate Professor of Public Administration, University of Texas at Arlington


“I have been using The Public Administration Workbook since it was first published. The ninth edition offers even more in-depth applied exercises along with an overview of the most important topics in the discipline. The HR and budgeting chapters are integral to my public administration courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level.”
Paula A. Holoviak, Professor of Philosophy and Government, Kutztown University
