This revised and expanded third edition extends Ostrom’s analysis to account for the most resent developments in American politics, including those of the Clinton and Bush administrations.
Ostrom... does a magnificent job of laying out the crucial elements of the classic works in the field.... Strongly recommended." — Choice
"Ostrom, who dwells on the crisis of confidence of identity that pervades public administration,... calls for divided and different authorities to limit and control each other. A significant and timely contribution." — Library Journal
"This is a stimulating book, clearly written, introducing an important controversy about the aims and structure of public administration." — Royal Institute of Public Administration
"[Ostrom's] argument remains... convincing, elegant, and increasingly relevant to real administrative problems.... The Intellectual Crisis in American Public Administration stands as an enduring contribution to the study of administrative theory and practice." — American Review of Public Administration
