Full Description
It is no secret that public budgeting courses can feel dry, technical, and overwhelming for students. Exploring real financial and budgeting situations in the public sector to engage students more actively in their learning, Public Budgeting and Financial Management: A Casebook applies budgeting and public finance course concepts in context to help students transform abstract concepts into practical applications.
Each chapter of the book begins with a brief introduction to a foundational budgeting concept, including definitions, basic steps, and optional further reading, to provide an overview of and context for each concept. The case studies that then follow are organized by topic, designed to help students reflect, make connections, and analyze budgeting situations within and across settings. The cases demonstrate strategies in system implementation, policy formulation, and financial management for different levels of government, with international, federal, state, county, and local cases included. Each case study concludes with questions for discussion, and teaching notes are woven thoughtfully throughout the book, offering instructors guidance on how the case studies can be implemented effectively in a classroom setting.
Public Budgeting and Financial Management: A Casebook is a detailed, indispensable guide for all public budgeting students, as well as early career faculty as they prepare to teach the course for what may be the first time, as well as for more senior faculty looking to improve the learning experience of students in the classroom.
