The Ombudsman Revisited
This article examines the classical, or real, ombudsman. Unlike quasi ombudsmen, which are bureaucratic control mechanisms subject to executive leaders or agency administrators, real ombudsmen are operationally independent officials of the legislative branch. In 1969, the state of Hawaii was the first to create a real ombudsman. Although Iowa, Nebraska, Alaska, and Arizona have since followed Hawaii's lead, no intensive, long‐term study of Americ…
Thickening Government
Is American Bureaucracy an Immobilized Gulliver or a Regenerative Phoenix
Over the past quarter century, federal bureaucracies have been affected by numerous changes-many of which were designed to restrictbureaucratic autonomy. Several scholars have concluded that bureaucracy's role in the process of governance has been substantially diminished. When the changes are closely inspected, however, most-including the proliferation of political appointees-prove not to be as effective at restraining bureaucracy as often suppo…

The Citizen Participation-Representation Roles of American Ombudsmen
Providing increased opportunity for citizen access to the administrative system is the principal goal of those who urge the adoption of ombudsmen. Although several state and local jurisdictions in the United States have created ombudsmen, empiricalstudies of their roles in encouraging citizens to appeal administrative decisions and in representing those appeals are only beginning. This article compares questionnaire responses of the American ombu…

Parliamentary Petitions, the Ombudsman and Political Change in New Zealand
Institutionalization, the Ombudsman, and Bureaucracy
This article proposes an authority based conception of the phenomenon of institutionalization. Whereas most social science writing on the subject focuses either upon the organization's internal structural integration (such criteria as well-boundedness, universalism, complexity, and coherence often are employed) or upon its ability to cope with environmental challenges (the concepts of adaptability and autonomy have been suggested), I propose that…
Complaining To the Ombudsman as an Urban Phenomenon
Yes
The New Zealand Ombudsman’s Authority System
Some political scientists have dismissed the Ombudsman as merely the latest in a series of administrative palliatives embraced by frustrated political engineers and Utopian administrators. However, the world-wide popular interest in and academic speculation about the Ombudsman (which have reached such proportions that one Ombudsman advocate has labelled them Ombudsmania) dictate that the Ombudsman should be seriously studied by political scientis…
Natural Disasters as a Political Variable
Political scientists usually assume that physical environment helps determine political behavior. They would not, for example, expect a homogeneous political culture in a country sharply divided by mountains. Also, extreme variations in physical environment, such as droughts and floods, have been traditionally considered bad omens for governments. However, very little empirical research has been done on the relationship between natural disasters …
