Product Description
Continuing in the standard of excellence set by previous editions, this sixth edition assesses the bureaucracies and development of governments around the world-providing helpful and revealing analyses of the relationships between bureaucracies and political regimes. With over 1000 literature references, tables, and drawings, the book has been updated to reflect changes in the political systems of the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the developing world. The editor clearly articulates recent developments in the shifting global political landscape and discusses how conditions in development administration and comparative public policy affect nation-states.

Towards the Definitive Textbook March 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is "the" textbook on the subject, the one that everyone uses, and written by an author the field owes a great debt of gratitude to. On the positive side, it's comprehensive and organized along the lines which have come to be the standard format for teaching in this field. On the negative side, there's a lot of, shall we say, "oral history" which will seem extraneous to the average reader. Unfortunately, there's a shortage of good books on this subject.
