Based mainly on State Department materials, but addressing generic problems of organizational politics as well, this book provides a fresh, intelligent, and lively account of bureaucratic behavior.

Praise

  • This is an excellent book, well conceived, carefully researched, and clearly written. It is one of the few analyses of an organizational reform effort in a public agency.
