The Public Administration Workbook

This unique workbook engages students in the study of public administration and helps them gain a deeper understanding of the field by providing exercises that expose them to a wide range of practical applications. Connecting theory to practice, a brief theoretical introduction precedes each exercise, explaining why the technique is important and how it is relevant to the study and practice of public administration.

• Theoretical discussions prior to each exercise root the material in theoretical context and enable students to understand the importance and relevance of the exercise.


• A detailed Instructor's Manual, written by Dennis Dresang, guides instructors with solutions, explanations, and suggestions for using (and modifying) the exercises to fit a variety of course needs.


• Downloadable datasets and exercises make it easier than ever to assign, submit, and grade assignments electronically.
