Governing: Issues and Applications from the Front Lines of Government
Second Edition

Edited by Alan Ehrenhalt

Governing reader coverGoverning Magazine, the leading publication on states and localities, showcases public managers at work, tackling challenges and searching for better ways to govern. Executive Editor Alan Ehrenhalt has chosen 40 articles that represent the best of what Governing offers: objective reporting, engaging writing and the ability to tell a good story while imparting important lessons about governance.

This second edition of readings — focusing on management functions such as personnel, performance and leadership, as well as on the impact of changes in federalism, technology and regulation — is a handy resource for any manager or student who wants to learn about the successes and failures of policy innovation in states and localities all over America.

I highly recommend the second edition of Governing: Issues and Applications from the Front Lines of Government. The topics are timely, informative and relevant to the policy and program decisions that students must learn to make. Because it is reader-friendly, instructors will find it easy to engage their classes in lively debates about the issues that arise in each reading.
