Books by John E Hodgetts

This book makes a new approach to Canadian politics describing the evolution and structure of the administrative machine which still serves the Canadian nation, and in the process it attempts to acknowledge and appraise the hitherto unsung contributions of the public servant to the welfare of a pioneer community.

This book examines the Canadian Public Service, concluding that all of our public organizations, the public service has proven the most responsive to the forces of change, but that it has been so caught up in structural and managerial adaptation that its capacity to concern itself with substantive policy issues has been subverted.
