Teaching Public Administration, Public Management, and Policy Analysis
Harvey Averch, Milan Dluhy, Teaching Public Administration, Public Management, and Policy Analysis: Convergence or Divergence in the Masters Core, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Vol. 11, No. 3 (Summer, 1992), pp. 541-551
The Matrix of Policy in the Philippines
Survey of findings on the social, political, and economic state of the Philippine nation. Analysis indicates that among the less-developed countries, the Philippines is not a nation in a general massive social crisis. Classical metaphors about the polity and economy of less-developed countries are misleading when applied to the Philippine experience
Two models of the urban crisis
Two Models of the Urban Crisis
This essay examines the arguments and evidence used in two recent models of the urban Edward C. Banfield's The Unheavenly City and Jay W. Forrester's Urban Dynamics. Although Banfield's model is sociological and Forrester's is economic and physical, both imply that much can be done to alleviate urban problems and that positive programs may make them worse. The authors of this critique contend that the articulation of argument and evidence inadequ…

This report contains the findings of an interdisciplinary study of the social, political, and economic state of the Philippine nation. It covers interactions among political perceptions, voting behavior, and economic growth, as well as the problems of crime and dissidence. Survey data and aggregate data are applied jointly to all of these subject areas. The aim is twofold: to provide as comprehensive and detailed a portrait as possible of the Phi…
The Huk Rebellion in the Philippines
A statistical study of conditions related to control of barrios in Central Luzon by Huk rebels. Using several different models, results showed that Huk actions — their terror and coercion — as measured by killings, was a stronger explanation than social conditions. Contrary to the findings of earlier studies, the proportions of Pampangans and of sugar growing were negatively related to Huk control. Tenancy was a factor — land ownership was negati…
Insurgent Organization and Operations
Analyzes the decisionmaking and operating procedures of the Viet Cong in Dinh Tuong province, 1964-1966. Viet Cong organization emphasizes learning, adaptation, and analysis of the enemy's behavior patterns; in operations, meticulous attention is given to small details. Viet Cong units fight at times and places of their own choice. Intelligence and reconnaissance, and a properly distributed labor and food supply are provided by the civilian organ…
