Politics,position+power

This substantially revised fourth edition of a now-classic work is the first to take a scrutinizing, inside look at the realities of the U.S. government in the 1980s, examining the federal administration as it affects and is affected by competing forces for power, position and political advantage. The authors analyze the implications of the transition from the positive to the regulatory state for federal organization and administration, and the consequent shift in emphasis from major structural regoranization to procedures and control of regulations.Seidman, Harold is the author of 'Politics,position+power' with ISBN 9780195039917 and ISBN 0195039912.
