Administrative Law for Public Managers

“Experts in public administration and in administrative law study similar things, but often they don’t speak the same language. David Rosenbloom is fluent in both languages, and I heartily recommend this new edition to all in both fields. It is comprehensive, refreshingly accessible, and shows a profound understanding of how government works and needs to work better.” - Jeffrey S. Lubbers, Washington College of Law, American University, USA

“Rosenbloom gives public managers an essential tool for democratic governance: a concise roadmap to their role in preserving the rule of law. The public has less trust in government. Public managers need this comprehensive introduction to constitutional and administrative law, because law underpins the ethics and values of public administration.” - · Lisa Blomgren Amsler, Indiana University, USA
