The Public Policy Perspective : A Personal Analysis of Public Work

Public policy and public administration are fundamental to a functioning society.These fields are embedded into our institutions, everyday lives, and the greater culture.This book will explore public interest roles in 2025 from the student, scholar, and practitioner perspective, as well as from their impacts on people and the planet.As we live through unceasingly unprecedented times, furthering our worldview on governance is essential. Benjamin H. Deitchman starts at the beginning: with understanding the basic perspectives on the public and nonprofit sectors and the roles in serving and leading in communities and beyond.Rigorously rooted in theory and practical experience, he examines how relevant individuals and institutions grow and provide impact, and how this shapes internal views and the views of others, including on television and in sports. While the work is tedious and serious, The Public Policy Perspective: A Personal Analysis of Public Work provides examples and analysis to explore its essentiality, and even its fun.A useful and engaging supplemental reading in an introductory or capstone course to provide perspective on the roles, responsibilities, and opportunities of the public policy or public administration scholar or professional.
