[Susannah Champlin]

Decent overview of the sector but now very outdated in the Trump era.

[Tiowidodo]

In my opinion, what is ethical and what is unethical are often troublesome to discuss. At work place you must know where you live to judge how ethical (or unethical) your deed will be. This is a good book to read and to pursue questions about ethics in public administration.

[Sandy Williamson]

It's a textbook--no additional comments needed!

[Francisco Goncalves]

I think, as a student in public administration its very interesting to read this book to increase my knowledge.
