“The major challenge in teaching a senior public administration course is to distinguish between the political and the administrative. The Public Servant’s Guide to Government in Canada, Second Edition, achieves this quite well. I cannot think of a single trend in public administration that this book misses.” -- Keith Brownsey, Professor, Department of Economics, Justice Studies and Policy Studies, Mount Royal University “There is an unmistakable need for a book to guide public servants, aspiring public servants, and students of government at a time when public sector institutions are being challenged on all fronts. Alex Marland and Jared J. Wesley have answered the call with a well-written and comprehensively documented contribution to the literature.” -- Donald J. Savoie, Canada Research Chair in Public Administration and Governance, Université de Moncton
