For courses in Introduction to Political Science, Public Policy, Bureaucracy, Public Administration, Honors courses in American Government or in courses dealing with the Public Sector.
This text focuses on the decline in public trust in government and the efforts of the public to use the powers of democratic governing to improve the lives of people-especially people who require such government intervention. It focuses on the debate over government size and the role of the public sector, with a look at the implications of unqualified disdain for politics, institutions, public servants, elected officials, and the very process of democracy itself. In reviewing these issues economic performance, government regulation, civil rights, white collar crime, and urban policy development are examined.
