Discussions on various aspects of American public administration are integrated with discussions of the Constitution and administrative law. 5. A full chapter (Chapter 10) is dedicated to explaining "Public Administration and the Public." 6. Chapters 2, 5, and 6 of this book discuss the historical development of the historical evolution of the public administration operating system from a historical perspective.
