For too long, public administration scholarship has emphasized similarities across states—favouring a one-size fits all approach to understanding modern governance. As McDonald, Bacot, and the contributors of this volume demonstrate, however, states do vary in important ways. And understanding and analysing the unique institutions and practices of one state at a time can lead to a much deeper understanding of governance in the 21st century. I highly recommend this volume for anyone who wants to understand the practice of governance in the Tar Heel State.Christopher A. Cooper, Robert Lee Madison Distinguished Professor, Director of the Haire Institute for Public Policy, Western Carolina UniversityPublic Administration in North Carolina is certain to be a go-to book for students interested in public service in the State of North Carolina. McDonald and Bacot have gathered subject matter experts from across North Carolina to provide scholarly expertise and coupled their knowledge with practical, everyday insight from practitioners in the field. This combination proves useful and effective for students, professors, and professionals alike.Jonathan Kanipe, Town Manager, Town of Biltmore Forest
