"[The Handbook of Canadian Public Administration] is set apart by its large and very diverse coverage of an abundance of issues in the field of public administration. [It] provides a broad survey of the theoretical foundations of public administration while considering the changing nature as it evolves throughout the twenty-first century." --Kevin Ginnell, Douglas College

"This edited collection identifies current issues, interprets their relevance, and blankets the Canadian scene more so than counterparts. [It] is a refreshed compendium of emerging themes and topical issues authored by leading scholars in the field. It paints an abstract portrait of twenty-first-century national political-administrative realities and aspirations upon the vast canvass of the decentralized and evolving landscape of Canadian federalism." --John Wilkins, York University
