Description:
Written by "pracademics" with federal practitioners specifically in mind, the handbook is designed to bridge the gap between academic and applied public administration by identifying what resonates with practitioners as they search for usable theories and research findings to improve performance. It will be essential reading for federal practitioners, scholars, and "pracademics" alike.
