Abstract
This is an interesting and engaging book. Alasdair Roberts offers a coherent and comprehensive new direction for the field of public administration. His position is clearly argued. His proposals are provocative because they depart sharply from recent orthodoxy. At the outset, I want to be clear that I agree with much of Roberts’s argument. Although I offer critical perspective in this review, it is important that readers put my criticism in context. Roberts’s goals are ambitious, and what he delivers sometimes falls short of his aspirations. Let me begin by summarizing Roberts’s argument. I condense it here to four premises:
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
