Stivers, Camilla
Westview Press, 2001

Dr. Stivers addresses several of the pivotal ideas in the field of public administration. The essays presented explore what Dwight Waldo designated as the "political theories" of public administration: issues that are absolutely irresolvable yet crucial to conceiving the nature of public administrative practice. This volume serves to associate the practice of public policy and administration with the normative theory base that has been compiled and the patterns for practice that may be collected from this theory.
