Follows the initiation and development of a child-focused homeless policy in a fictional state government over the course of one year. Judy, an analyst working for a state economic development agency, and colleagues, encounter a variety of issues, concepts, and tools in their daily public administration work: critical thinking, analytical writing, interpersonal communication, public speaking, teamwork, political concepts, economic principles, organizational models, legislative process, indigenous issues, research methods, public budgeting approaches, administrative law, ethics, and futures studies. The book illustrates the application of principles developed in the first year of a masters of public administration program. Intended as a supplemental text for those interested in public administration. The book also relates, in a plausible fictional context, some of the experiences and impressions the author acquired as a state government economic analyst.
Adopted by School of Public Policy, University of Maryland.
“Your book does a nice job of giving a sense of what a year in the lives of mid-level public policy practitioners looks and feels like.” Professor Elizabeth (Betty) Duke, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland.
