Ostrom... does a magnificent job of laying out the crucial elements of the classic works in the field.... Strongly recommended." — <i>Choice</i><br /><br />"Ostrom, who dwells on the crisis of confidence of identity that pervades public administration,... calls for divided and different authorities to limit and control each other. A significant and timely contribution." — <i>Library Journal</i><br /><br />"This is a stimulating book, clearly written, introducing an important controversy about the aims and structure of public administration." — Royal Institute of Public Administration<br /><br />"[Ostrom's] argument remains... convincing, elegant, and increasingly relevant to real administrative problems.... <i>The Intellectual Crisis in American Public Administration</i> stands as an enduring contribution to the study of administrative theory and practice." — <i>American Review of Public Administration</i>
