Politics and The Bureaucracy: Policymaking in the Fourth Branch of Government

Rating:
Summary: Brief introduction to policymaking
Review: Meier's book skims over policymaking in the bureaucracy and focuses mainly on the federal bureaucracy. This slim volume has good examples but one would hope for more depth considering the book's hefty price. In addition, the author's liberal slant can be a bit distracting. However, it does present some interesting ideas for public policy students to consider.
