The new edition includes increased international coverage of the field, and a strong focus on emerging trends, as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the foundations and key aspects of the discipline.

The Handbook is organised into six thematic sections, including a generously-sized section devoted to case studies of public affairs in action:

• PA and its relationship to other Key Disciplines
• Emerging Trends in PA
• The Regional Development and Application of PA
• Case Studies of PA in Action
• Tactical Approaches to Executing PA.

Containing contributions from leading experts in the field today, this Handbook is designed to serve the needs of scholars, researchers, students and professionals alike.
