  • A Historical Perspective in the Study and Practice of Public Administration
    Is American Public Administration Detached from Historical Context? On the Nature of Time and the Need to Understand it in Government and its Study Jos C.N. Raadschelders University of Oklahoma Paper for the Sixth NIG Annual work Conference 12-13 November, 2009 University of Leiden 1 Is American Public Administration Detached from Historical Context? On the Nature of Time and the Need to Understand it in Government and its Study Abstract The study of public administration pays little attention to history. Most publications are focused on current problems (the present) and desired solutions (the future) and are concerned mainly with organizational structure (a substantive issue) and output targets (an aggregative issue that involves measures of both individual performance and organizational productivity/services). There is much less consideration of how public administration (i.e., organization, policy, the study, etc.) unfolds over time. History, and so administrative history, is regarded as a ‘past’ that can be recorded for its own sake but has little relevance to contemporary challenges. This view of history is the product of a diminished and anemic sense of time, resulting from organizing the past as a series of events that inexorably lead up to the present in a linear fashion. In order to improve the understanding of government’s role and position in society, public administration scholarship needs to reacquaint itself with the nature of time. “Wir wollen durch Erfahrung nicht sowohl klug (für ein andermal) als weise (für immer) werden.” (Jacob Burckhardt)1 “…excluding useful [memories and histories] because they carry an undesirable residue from the past renders public administration dialogue weaker and less effective in dealing with current problems for the future.” (paraphrased after Box, 2008, p.104) 1.

  • Contemporary Jurisprudence and International
    THE YALE LAW JO UR NA L VOLUME 61 MAY 1952 NUMBER 5 CONTEMPORARYJURISPRUDENCE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW* F.S. C.NORTHROPt WORLDsurvival and progress in an atomic epoch depends on an effective international law. Yet several recent students of the subject conclude that any further attempt to improve international relations by legal means is not merely unrealistic and impractical, but also likely to result in more harm than good. Is this to be the final verdict? The purpose of this inquiry is to answer this question by analyzing the major contemporary theories of jurisprudence and their bearing on international law. LEGAL POSITIVISM Legal positivism delimits the subject matter of law to the cases and proposi- tions in law books and to the legal institutions which apply those propositions. In domestic law this restriction of the law to the positive law has been found wanting. Dean Roscoe Pound's strictures against this "give-it-up" philosophy are well known.1 Justice Holmes' and Brandeis' pragmatic conception of law as a social instrument for facing and resolving social problems rather than running away from them is now a commonplace. Increasingly important is Myres McDougal's observation that not merely British legal positivism but also American legal realism leave one with a type of law which is incapable of meeting either the opportunities or responsibilities of the contemporary world.2 It has remained, however, for a legal positivist, P. E. Corbett, to give the final reductio ad absurdurn to such a system of jurisprudence in his Law and Society in the Relations of States.3 Consider, for example, the theory of auto-limitation introduced by Jellinek to account for legal obligation in international law.

In modern age it became the dominant factor of life. To Study about meaning, scope and importance of Public Adminstration is the main objective of this unit. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Public Adminstration as independent Subject of a social science has recent origin. Traditionly Public Adminstration was considered as a part of political science. But in Modern age the nature of state-under went change and it became from police stale to social service state. As a consequence, the Public Adminstration, irrespective of the nature of the political system, has become the dominant factor of life. The modern political system is essentially ‘bureaucratic’ and characterised by the rule of officials. Hence modern democracy has been described as ‘executive democracy’ or ‘bupeaucratic democracy’. The adminstrative branch, described as civil service or bureaucracy is the most significant component of governmental machinery of the state. 1.2 Meaning of Public Adminstration :- Administer is a English word, which is originated from the Latin word ‘ad’ and ‘ministrare’. It means to serve or to manage. Adminstration means mangement of affairs, public or private. Various definitions of Public Adminstration are as follows- 1.2.1 : Prof. Woodrow Wilson, the pioneer of the social science of Public Adminstration says in his book ‘The study of Public 2 Adminstration’, published in 1887 “Public Adminstration is a detailed and systematic application of law.” 1.2.2 : According to L.

  • Is International Relations Relevant for International Money and Finance?
    Is International Relations Relevant for International Money and Finance? Thomas B. Pepinsky David A. Steinberg Department of Government Department of Political Science Cornell University University of Oregon [email protected] [email protected] FIRST DRAFT: August 5, 2014 THIS DRAFT: December 3, 2014 Is International Relations Relevant for International Money and Finance?* This paper investigates whether the discipline of international relations (IR) has contributed to international monetary and financial policy, and how it might do so more effectively. Using data from the Teaching, Research & International Policy (TRIP) surveys of policymakers, scholars, and academic journals, we show that IR research on money and finance remains a small fraction of all published IR research, and IR research on this issue rarely provides concrete policy prescriptions. This is unfortunate because scholars and policymakers agree that international money and finance are central concerns for contemporary policy. We suggest that the paucity of policy-oriented IR research on money and finance is largely a consequence of the relative success of economics in providing policymakers with the tools they need to understand economic policy problems, but that this is exacerbated by disciplinary incentives within the IR community. Increasing the policy relevance of academic IR research on money and finance will require changes to scholarly practice, and greater effort to capitalize on the complementarity of IR and economics. Although IR scholars have little influence

  • Management and Administration
    2 Management and Administration distribute or The first dichotomy we will discuss in this book is between public administration and public management. As was pointed out in Chapter 1, we see public management as embedded in public administration. Therefore, the dichotomy we will address in this chapter refers to the tensions between those two different perspectives – management versus administrationpost, – on fundamental issues related to the bureaucracy. These will include its relationship to elected officials and its clients, and the values and norms that are prioritized in the two perspectives. These differences are most distinct and pertinent when we confront conventional public administration with New Public Management (NPM) which is the cur- rently dominant version of public management thinking and a neo-Weberian philosophy of public service. Thus, our discussion about public management is mainly related to NPM, although we will also trace the history of the public management copy,school of thought. This chapter will look more closely at the shift from public administration to public management in the scholarly literature and also in the debate among politicians and civil servants. We first discuss the different meanings and conse- notquences of the shift from public administration to public management. After that, and as a way of further clarifying what the concepts of public administration and public management stand for, we will stylize the two different approaches to the public sector and its organizations. We then conclude the chapter by discussing whether there is today some degree of convergence between the two approaches Do and, if so, what that position means and the degree to which neo-Weberianism deviates from those two approaches.

  • THE LAWYER's ROLE in PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FRITZ MORSTEIN Marxt
    THE LAWYER'S ROLE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FRITZ MORSTEIN MARXt I THE role played by the lawyer in public administration is not ade- quately described in a simple statement. His special skill is utilized in a great variety of ways. Moreover, lawyers occupy quite different posi- tions on various levels of the administrative hierarchy. And their actual influence goes in many instances beyond the range of their specific duties. Neither statutory prohibitions nor stipulations of political etiquette bar the lawyer from the highest posts of administrative leadership. It may even be said that legislative assemblies-with their heavy representation of legal talent-tend to show a certain fondness for government executives experienced in the practice of law.' More than a few lawyers have acquitted themselves creditably at the helm of gov- ernment agencies. This, however, does not suggest the possibility of a correlation between success or acclaim in the legal profession and those qualifications which should be expected of government executives. 2 On the contrary, prevailing opinion is accurately summarized in the ob- servation that "the lawyer is a good administrator by coincidence only; he is not specially trained for administration, and, indeed, the narrow and specialized legal education he has received may be considered to be particularly unsuited for the types of problems to be faced." I What is more relevant for our purposes, as administrator of an operating agency the lawyer is called upon to demonstrate his talent for executive direction and management rather than his legal knowledge and experi- ence. Much the same is true of those lawyers whose elevated positions t Associate Professor of Political Science, Queens College (on leave); Staff Assistant, Office of the Director, Bureau of the Budget, Executive Office of the President.

  • Representative Bureaucracy and Public Service Performance: Where, Why and How Does Representativeness Work?
    Representative Bureaucracy and Public Service Performance: Where, Why and How Does Representativeness Work? Rhys Andrews Cardiff School of Business; Cardiff University; UK Sandra Groeneveld Institute of Public Administration; Leiden University; The Netherlands Kenneth J. Meier Department of Political Science; Texas A&M University; USA and Cardiff School of Business; Cardiff University; UK Eckhard Schröter Department of Public Management & Governance; Zeppelin University; Germany Abstract As issues of social equity and inclusiveness have become increasingly salient to political discourse, they are also more strongly emphasized as dimensions of effective public service delivery. As a consequence, representative bureaucracy has become more significant to the study of public management. The theory of representative bureaucracy assumes that several positive effects of representation in public organizations, such as perceptions of accessibility to power for groups in society and reflection of group preferences in bureaucratic decision making, will boost organizational performance. While previous empirical studies have examined this performance claim of representative bureaucracy theory, this paper argues that to gain a full understanding of representative bureaucracy academic inquiry should be devoted to the role of context, both theoretically and empirically. To substantiate this the paper reviews the literature on contextual factors salient to representative bureaucracy and theorizes on how these factors condition the impact of bureaucratic representation on public policy and performance. Introduction[SG1] Governments have long been concerned with improving the representativeness of government bureaucracies. As a model employer, considerations of equity and fairness were intrinsically valued and deemed important for government per se. Such factors were not always considered as an aspect of public service performance, howver, particularly during the last three decades dominated by the business logic of New Public Management.

  • Historical Sociological Approach in International Relations
    Athens Journal of Social Sciences- Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2020 – Pages 123-130 Historical Sociological Approach in International Relations By Bihter Çelikdemir The aim of this study is to underline the importance of historical sociology for the discipline of International Relations and to suggest this research approach for the analysis of nation-state-building processes. Mainstream theories of International Relations, like neorealism and neoliberalism, argue that state behavior is determined by the international system (or structure). Since these theories attribute to the international system a key and determining role to understand state actions without having a state theory of their own, they fail to understand the transformations of the state throughout the history. In this article, it is argued that the discipline of International Relations should analyze the state and develop a theory of it. It is also argued that the way of achieving this goal is to historicize the state with a historical sociological approach. Keywords: Historical Sociology, International Relations, International System, Social Relations, Nation-State, Capitalism. Introduction With the establishment of the discipline of International Relations as a separate field of social sciences, history and sociology are treated as unrelated research areas, since the discipline relies upon the distinction between internal- external or local-international. Analyzing the local one - in other words the state and the society -is considered as the study field of sociology and history, whereas examining the international one is seen as the mission of International Relations (Yalvaç 1991, 2013). Mainstream theories of International Relations treat history as a material storage for the validation of their theories.
