Examining the political and economic forces that have shaped the American civil service system from its beginnings in 1883 through today, the authors of this volume explain why, despite attempts at an overhaul, significant change in the bureaucracy remains a formidable challenge.Johnson, Ronald N. is the author of 'Federal Civil Service System and the Problem of Bureaucracy The Economics and Politics of Institutional Change' with ISBN 9780226401713 and ISBN 0226401715.
