Theory and the Public Administration Student/Practitioner
The modern theory that dominates our classrooms and training programs meets the needs of staff‐oriented practitioners and public administration students. Line managers, present and future, are less well served by our offerings. Open systems and constructed reality describe both postmodern theory and the world faced by the line manager. Incorporating the learning principles imbedded in postmodernism would add diversity and strength to our MPA curr…
The Watershed as a Focus for Public Administration
The watershed, a facet of physical landscape and resources management in the sciences and a symbol of social change among bioregionalists, has become a widely used organizing principle in administrative and community-based settings. This article reviews the roots of the watershed focus in the disparate literatures of water resources management and bioregionalism. The analysis shows that while neither group has seen its initial proposals fully rea…
Building Urban Governance
Effective and democratic local self-governance is the basic building block of the federal system. It allows citizens to make and carry out important decisions affecting their day-to-day lives. To further this capacity, an agenda is needed that calls for: a sphere of relative fiscal and policy autonomy for localities in relation to the state and national government; equality of status and broad expansion of citizen participation in formal governin…

Coping With New Federalism
Limits of Artificial Intelligence
Realities of Public Administration
A Community Services Budget
Voluntary and nonprofit organizations, private firms, and public agencies provide and produce many of the same goods and services at the local level. Consequently, the adequacy, equity, and efficiency of the local public sector and the aggregate performance of the three sectors cannot be fully assessed without accounting for the effects of all sectors. A multisectoral framework or "community services budget" is proposed in this article to facilit…

The Developer's Role in Coprovision, Cofinancing, and Coproduction of Urban Infrastructure and Services
Municipalities are increasingly shifting costs for urban infrastructure and services to private developers through the use of exactions. A complex system of conjoint arrangements has resulted in which a firm, in bargaining over the conditions of a development permit, may agree to provide and operate a water system, where the use of a facility with a city, or participate in a joint commercial venture with a local government. This exaction process …
Emergency Management and the Intergovernmental System
The literature focusing upon emergency management is diverse and growing. A few years ago, there was little research on policy and administration in this area. Increasingly, however, there is a realization that hazards administration requires an understanding of both the policy process and the intergovernmental system within which it operates.' The importance of these two processes for understanding and improving emergency management is evidenced…
Intergovernmental Implementation of Building Codes With Lateral Force Provisions
Building-code revisions and land-use planning are recognized as potential solutions to the threat posed by hazardous structures in seismically active regions. Their implementation, however, is problematic and several Impediments to action on building codes are analyzed. The authors recommend a system of incentives to overcome these barriers including federally subsidized insurance, low interest loans, and joint state-local policy ventures with te…
