  • In the twenty-first century, the most pressing, wicked problems all involve issues of social equity. To better train MPA and PhD students in how to foster social equity, they must be exposed to the complex dynamics involved in diagnosing, understanding, and resolving inequities, and reading and debating case studies is often the best way to facilitate classroom education on social equity. Still, to date, no such accessible compilation exists. This edited volume was created to address this need.

This approach has been used by dozens of government agencies whose experiences are chronicled throughout the book. Part 1 focuses on the CSF approach and its implementation. Part 2 includes a brief case study of six very successful leaders of high-level government agencies, the issues they faced, and how the process set forth in the book provided the means to overcome them.
