The material covered is vastly descriptive. It can make for difficult reading. Also, the authors approach Public Administration from a global perspective, rather than a U.S. perspective.

Peters is not only an excellent researcher but also the chronicler of the modern public administration. As always, in this Handbook of Public Administration Peters, here with Jon Pierre, presents interesting and timely subjects, such as: policy implementation, politicization of the civil service,multi-level governance and individual ethics-administrative responsibility, among others. The authors manage to bring together a group of experts to write about all the major subjects that influence the quality of todays' public administration. This book is a "must read" for scholars and graduate students who are in search for research topics in contemporary public administration.
