  • Policy Feedback and the Politics of Administration Donald P. Moynihan
    Policy Feedback and the Politics of Administration Donald P. Moynihan 1225 Observatory Drive, Madison WI 53711 University of Wisconsin email: [email protected] & Joe Soss Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs 301 19th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55455 Forthcoming in Public Administration Review Abstract This article surveys the policy feedback framework developed in political science and clarifies its implications for public administration. A feedback perspective encourages us to ask how policy implementation transforms the webs of political relations that constitute governance. Administrators play a key role in shaping the political conditions of bureaucratic performance and the organization of power in the broader polity. At the same time, this perspective underscores that policies are more than just objects of administrative action. Policies are political forces in their own right that can alter key components of administration itself, including phenomena such as organizational capacity, structures, routines, authorities, motivations and cultures. These sorts of administrative themes have seen little attention in policy feedback research, just as the political effects of policies have been overlooked in public administration studies. Bridging these perspectives offers a basis for exciting new agendas and advances in public administration research. 1 What is the relationship between administration and politics? Few questions in the study of bureaucracy are as vexed and enduring. Many scholars sidestep it, opting to remain silent on politics and, thus, drain it from their accounts of administration. Yet it is rare today to find explicit Wilsonian claims that the two exist in separate spheres. Indeed, the dialogue between administrative and political analysis has grown decidedly richer in recent years.
