Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An updated classic of public administration This fresh publication of James W. Fesler's classic, Area and Administration is a powerful work of intellectual history. Richly illustrating how the Great Depression and World War II shaped the thinking of scholars who helped build modern American government. It is also an authoritative work of powerful insight. The challenges of linking the center with the front lines, or securing vertical and horizonal coordination, and of connecting area and function, have only become more important in twenty-first century government. Fesler's path-breaking book provides an extraordinarily useful foundation for grappling with issues that have become even more important for governance. Deals with public administration.
