Book Description: Public administration is, at its core, the study of how governments translate public purposes into action. Yet the conditions under which this translation occurs are not static. Over the past several decades, and especially in the contemporary period shaped by rapid technological change, political polarization, and renewed debates over the role of the administrative state, public administration has undergone significant transformation. This book was written in response to those changes.
