Description

Explore the realities of political practice with The Craft of Governing. This work examines the contributions of Patrick Weller to Australian political science, focusing on how government actually functions in practice. Through decades of observation, Weller looks at the actions of politicians, public servants, and campaigners to understand the tension between power and thought, and the balance of compromise and commitment. This book addresses the central question of political science: how does government work? By looking at the practical side of politics, including bargaining, puzzling, and dealing, it provides a way to interpret the real world of political action. It serves as a tribute to a pioneer in the field whose career has focused on the mechanics of governance and the study of politics in action. For students, academics, and anyone interested in the foundations of political science, this text offers a deep look into the professional realities of those who shape policy and govern.
