Public Administration in the People's Republic of China
Indeed, Public Administration Review, and the field of public administration in general, have consistently striven to maintain a comparative perspective. In recent decades, however, inclusion of the most populous nation on earth in that perspective has been difficult owing to the problem of access to the People's Republic of China and its administrative system. Consequently, in the history of PAR only a single article on China has appeared and th…

Managing the Toxic Waste Problem
Toxic waste disposal is likely to be among the most serious and far-reaching problems of public policy and management for the rest of this century. This article presentsfindings on the nature of the problem drawn from a study of thefirst major toxic waste disaster, Love Canal. Based on these findings, the authors identify legislative, organizational, andfiscal dimensions that require policy research and development. Their conclude that a collabor…
Academic Technical Assistance
mental officials will be in a position to demand the best research that can be provided by outside and in-house researchers. The necessity of governmental officials to conduct, supervise, and/or evaluate research that is fed into the decision-making process seems to suggest that graduate programs in public administration and other areas where public managers are educated should have substantial research components. As a modest step toward improvi…
Computers and Management
University Assistance to State Government
It is commonplace to observe that the challenges facing government have become evermore capacious, complex, and comprehensive, and that scientific and technological knowledge is therefore increasingly needed in addressing major public policy problems. Yet, development of linkages between sources of expertise and public policymaking bodies has been problematical. Kenneth Boulding has remarked in a Science magazine editorial that the relationship b…
Modern Technology Applied to Traditional Political Functions
Legislative Information Systems
by increased workloads, the U.S. Congress and several states and foreign legislatures have taken strides in this direction. Unfortunately, despite the potentially major impact of this development on the legislative institution and the public policymaking process, very little study of these efforts has been undertaken. Not only are analyses of the developments and their impact lacking, but even factual descriptions of what has been and is transpir…
Legislative Information Systems
No Mention of Computers
I was amazed to find that in an otherwise thought-provoking symposium on knowledge management (November/December 1975) the computer was not mentioned yet alone discussed and analyzed. In 1976 is it really possible to talk about managing information without talking about electronic data processing? Perhaps this startling omission is due to the absence of practitioners in the symposium; for practicing public administrators constantly remind us that…
Public Administration and Legislatures
Despite counsel of Max Weber, W. F. Willoughby, and others,1 field of public administration has an image of identifying almost solely with executive branch. Indeed, at 1972 annual meeting of American Society for Public Administration, James J. Heaphey suggested that field has specifically neglected legislative organizations;2 and Dwight Waldo agreed, explaining that public administrationists have generally seen themselves as the President's men a…
