"[This text] is a brief, but excellent overview of public
organization theories, that raises some of the most important
issues in the study of contemporary theory. It is provocative."

"As written, the text is one of the best that I have used in
helping my students understand what the various theorists were
trying to explain or demonstrate. I also assign my students the
seminal sources and Denhardt has been invaluable to their
understanding."Steve Esons, Roger Williams University
