Reviews

The Thinking Government: Public Administration and Politics in Canada 4e answers every question a student, a course instructor, or a public servant might have about the current state of Canadian public administration. It clearly and thoroughly explains the current functioning and issues in public administration. Undergraduate and graduate students, public administration scholars, and public servants should keep a copy on hand. — Caroline Dufour, York University’s School of Public Policy and Administration

The most recent version of David Johnson’s superb textbook has now taken the place of the previous Kernaghan and Siegel edition as its legitimate descendant. It brings together an advanced comprehension of the background and environment of public administration and a strong foundation in all of the key functional areas that aspirant public servants need to be aware of. It is also complemented by a fantastic website that keeps the information current.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Professor Johnson for all of his efforts and commitment to maintaining the quality of this invaluable resource. — Ken Rasmussen, University of Regina’s Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy
