Summary

Prepare for your career in government service with PUBLIC LAW AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION! With the increasingly significant role of contracting out in public administration, this book is a must read for anyone who plans to enter the field of government service or public administration. Based on the premise that there is a complex, ongoing interaction between law and administration in the United States, this readable political science text proposes that administrative law problems are not only legal but also administrative and political.
