Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Notes Chapter 1 1. This section refers to Tan Gongrong (2008:9–14). 2. In his textbook The Evolution of Management Thought, Daniel Wren (1997) defines the history of management thought in four stages: early management thought; the scientific management era; the social man era; and the modern era. However, early management thought is not system- atic and cannot be abstracted into theories, and science of administration did not emerge at that time. For this reason this book rejects this era. 3. See for example, Yu and Feng 2010:8–15; Ding and Zhang 2007:113–117; Liang and Wang 2006:33–36; Ma and Yan 2009:157; Chen B. 2009:73– 78; Li R. 2006:123; and Liu Y. 2009:28–29. 4. The year of publications given in this section refer to the first edition, not necessarily the books or articles the author cite as listed in the bibliography. Chapter 2 1. Public administration is sometimes categorized into public management, but the mainstream in Western countries still classifies it into politics. 2. Cost function indicates pursuing the minimization of cost with a premise of fixed output; production function indicates pursuing the maximiza- tion of production with a premise of fixed input. Chapter 3 1. This section only offers an introduction to the development of public administration, so the time span is from 1887 to the 1960s. 2. It will be discussed in detail that Dwight Waldo is an advocator of New Public Administration theory. 3. Scholars generally name the period from 1887 when The Study of Admin- istration was published to 1968 when the first Minnowbrook Confer- ence was held as the stage of Traditional Public Administration. 4. “Public affairs officers” are those people we always refer to as “adminis- trative staff,” “bureaucrats,” and “civil officials.” 274 Notes Chapter 5 1. Management (Guanli) and Administration (Xingzheng) often create confusion when being translated into Chinese. For example, Simon’s famous Administrative Behavior: A Study of Decision Making Processes in Administrative Organization is generally translated as “Guanli Xingwei” in Chinese. In fact, however, there are obvious differences between the two words. The original meaning of “administration” in Latin was to serve and hence later to govern; while the meaning of “management” was to control by hand. Therefore, the original intention of adminis- tration was to pay attention to services, while the original intention of management was to focus on control and results (Hughes 2003:3). Pub- lic administration is a type of activity aiming at serving the public that focuses on processes and how to turn policies into actions; while man- agement includes not only administration but also how an organization may achieve its goals and obtain maximum efficiency and results. 2. The “public administration” here refers to “traditional public administration.” Chapter 6 1. His original name was David Ashworth and changed to Perri 6 in 1983. Chapter 7 1. The Minnowbrook spirit first appeared in papers submitted to Minnow- brook III. It is a spirit that reflects on and criticizes current theories, allows and encourages new viewpoints, and advocates debates on aca- demic issues. Chapter 8 1. For example: Public Administration and the Governance Process: Shift- ing the Political Dialogue (Wamsley, Wolf, and Goodsell et al. 1982), Refounding Public Administration (Wamsley et al. 1990), Refounding Democratic Administration: Modern Paradoxes, Postmodern Challenges (Wamsley et al. 1996), and Democracy and Public Administration: The Minnowbrook Perspective (Frederickson and Chandler. 1997) etc. 2. It refers to the adoption of privatization by the American government (the Reagan Administration) during the privatization movement. 3. During this period, the instrumental rationality school only consisted of Traditional Public Administration and Privatization theory. 4. It corresponds with some of the viewpoints of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Notes 275 Chapter 10 1. In the same year and 2004 and 2005, scholars also published on the sub- ject. For examples, Chapman 2003; Bentley, Kaye, and MacLeod 2004; and Chapman 2005. 2. In the same year, other scholars also published on the subject.

E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 23 June, 2010 The notion that there is one right way of accomplishing a given task had an influential role in the theory and practice of public administration. This theoretical paper presents the impact of the scientific approach on the founding literature of the science of public administration. The main reform proposals that emphasized this concept will be presented through the early writings in the field. Then it discusses the main public administration authors who recognized the limitations of the “right way” and weakened its role in public administration. Finally, the current impact of the scientific management on the field will be highlighted. Key words: Taylorism, public administration, one right method, positivism.

Positivism came from the 17th century given task has had an influential role in the theory and enlightenment and emerged in the United States during practice of public administration.

  • The Implications for Democracy in a Networked Bureaucratic World
    The Implications for Democracy in a Networked Bureaucratic World Laurence J. O'Toole Jr. The University of Georgia Downloaded from ABSTRACT Dwight Waldo wrote nearly fifty years ago that democracy is http://jpart.oxfordjournals.org/ very much more than the political context in which public administration is carried out. Public administration is now less hierarchical and insular and is increasingly networked. This has important implications for democracy, including changing responsibilities for the public interest, for meeting public preferences, and for the enhancement of political deliberation, civility, and trust. Networked public administration can pose a threat to democratic governance and it can open possibilities for at D H Hill Library - Acquis Dept S on April 2, 2013 strengthening governance, depending on the values and actions of public administrators. [B]oth private and public administration were in an important and far-reaching sense false to the ideal of democracy. They were false by reason of their insistence that democracy, however good and desirable, is nevertheless something peripheral to administration. I have made no distinction . between "democracy" within an administrative system and "democracy" with respect to an administrative system's external relations. If administration is indeed "the core of modern government," then a theory of democracy in the twentieth century must Thanks to Todd R. La Porte and embrace administration. Laurence E. Lynn, who offered helpful comments on an earlier version of this The focus of this essay ... is not upon the present and existing, article. but upon.the future and potential.

  • Dwight Waldo
    Administrative Historian: DWIGHT WALDO Structure Introduction Life and Work The Administrative State Public Administration – History Classical Approach Politics and Administration Organization Theory Comparative Administration New Public Administration Public Administration as Profession Public Administration and the Future Summing Up Model Questions Further Readings Introduction Dwight Waldo is very closely associated with the history and theory of public administration than any other thinker. A ‘chronicler’, a leading ‘philosopher-historian- theoretician’, a ‘defining figure’ of public administration, his contribution to the discipline of public administration has been outstanding. He was interested not only in virtually every facet of administrative studies and learning, but also in the larger aspects Page | 1 of social world which shape and are themselves shaped by the administrative centres of the governments. Waldo had very significant influence on the teaching and theory of public administration during the second half of the twentieth century. Life and Work Clifford Dwight Waldo (1913-2000) was born in DeWitt, Nebraska. After high school, Waldo joined Wesleyan College in Peru, Nebraska from where he received B.A (1935). He looked for a job as a teacher, but unable to get in the throes of the Great Depression, he accepted the job of reading papers at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and enrolled in the master’s program in political science. After receiving a master’s degree in political science (1937) from the University of Nebraska, he joined as a Cowles Fellow at Yale University. After the Second World War, Waldo joined the University of California at Berkeley as an assistant professor. Waldo helped to establish a Graduate School of Public Affairs and contributed to changing the University Bureau of Public Administration to that of the Institute of Governmental Studies, and served as its Director from 1958-1967.

One of the primaty purposes of such studies is to pro- vide authoritative, provocative, comprehensive, and reasonably sophis- ticated introductions to the major subdivisions of pohtical science. In some respects, political science as a sum total of intellectual activities resembles a rather confusing three-ring circus. Each act is of course in- teresting and important in its own right, but we hope through a number of similar studies to make possible a systematic global survey of political science as a whole. We are indeed fortunate that Professor Dwight Waldo is so well qualified to prepare this particular study and that he was willing to put his mature judgment to work.

Survey Article Journal of Public and Nonprofit Affairs Vol. 4, No. 1 Demons, Spirits, and Elephants: Reflections on the Failure of Public Administration Theory1 Melvin J. Dubnick – University of New Hampshire For the past half-century, those defining the field of Public Administration in their role as its leading “theorists” have been preoccupied with defending the enterprise against the evils of value-neutral logical positivism. This polemical review of that period focuses on the Simon-Waldo debate that ultimately leads the field to adopt a “professional” identity rather than seek disciplinary status among the social sciences. A survey of recent works by the field’s intellectual leaders and “gatekeepers” demonstrates that the anti- positivist obsession continues, oblivious to significant developments in the social sciences. The paper ends with a call for Public Administrationists to engage in the political and paradigmatic upheavals required to shift the field toward a disciplinary stance.
