A Tribute to H. George Fredrickson
During his 50-year career, H. George Frederickson contributed on multiple fronts: to better government, to a more thoughtful and rigorous public administration field, to better scholarship, to a network of scholars, and to collaborative interaction among practitioners and scholars. He was the founding Editor of the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory as well as the Journal of Public Administration Education. He was one of the fou…
Start with the Problem
A key question of each Minnowbrook has been how public administration scholarship can be relevant to practice (Carboni and Nabatchi 2019; Nabatchi and Carboni 2019; O’Leary, Van Slyke, and Kim 2010). This question remains salient today, as public administration scholarship is increasingly distant from the challenges identified by practitioners. Academic research agendas are often disconnected from the social issues and challenges of public govern…
Collaborating in the Absence of Trust? What Collaborative Governance Theory and Practice Can Learn From the Literatures of Conflict Resolution, Psychology, and Law
Trust is often touted as both an element of success and an outcome of interest in collaboration research, usually without defining the term or acknowledging the possibility of collaborating when trust is diminished or absent. This article broadens our theoretical understanding of the concept of trust, and the ability to collaborate in the absence of trust, by looking at it through the lenses of conflict resolution, psychology, and law. The discip…
The Ethics of Dissent
“Guerrilla government” is Rosemary O’Leary’s term for public servants who work against the wishes—either implicitly or explicitly communicated—of their superiors in order to do what they think is right. This form of dissent is usually carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people, but typically, for strategic reasons, choose not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. She com…
The Impact of Courts on Public Management
This article challenges some of the accepted wisdom about the relationship between courts and public institutions. The authors raise a reasonable doubt concerning whether judges as a whole are refusing to defer to administrator’s expertise and have lost their “cloak of neutrality.” Moreover, there is evidence to conclude that judges, as a whole, are shying away from the detailed “command-and-control” approaches of the past where courts determined…

Local Government Management
This special issue of ARPA seeks to fill a void in the public administration literature by bringing to the forefront analyses of local government and metropolitan challenges from the perspective of public administrationists: Those who manage cities and counties, and those who both teach and study local government management. The public administration perspective on local government and metropolitan governance has traditionally been grounded in ju…

Critiquing John Rohr
Collaborative Public Management
This article analyzes the most important issues, concepts, and ideas in collaborative public management research and practice today. The issues, concepts, and ideas are (a) competing definitions of collaboration; (b) changes in the environment of public management that have encouraged the growth of collaborative public management; (c) “thinking DaVinci”—lateral thinking and interdisciplinarity; (d) the management challenges of working in networks…
The Skill Set of the Successful Collaborator
In this article, the authors focus on members of the U.S. Senior Executive Service who choose collaboration as a management strategy to increase performance and, in particular, their views of the skill set of a successful collaborator. Based on the current literature on collaboration and networks, these executives might be expected to identify strategic thinking and strategic management as the most important skills. Contrary to expectations, the …
Do Shocks Change Organizations? The Case of Nasa
The 50-year history of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) spaceflight program is marked by spectacular accomplishments and devastating tragedy. NASA has suffered three major disasters, each of which destroyed a spacecraft and killed its crew. In the wake of each accident, investigators and analysts identified causes and recommended technical and organizational improvements that NASA should undertake. The NASA case presents…
Federalist No. 51
Federalist No. 51 is another of the most recognizable and important of the Federalist Papers, famously arguing that one first must enable government to control the governed, and then oblige it to control itself. The authors suggest that part of this obligation involves effective collaboration within a system of separate powers. They then ask how this “collaboration imperative” can be exercised in today’s contentious political environment
Public Administration and Law, Third Edition
Since the first edition of Public Administration and Law was published in 1983, it has retained its unique status of being the only book in the field of public administration that analyzes how constitutional law regulates and informs the way administrators interact with each other and the public. Examining First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights as they pertain to these encounters, it explains how public administrators must …

Guerrilla Employees
“Guerrilla government” is Rosemary O'Leary's term for the actions of career public servants who work against the wishes—either implicitly or explicitly communicated—of their superiors. This form of dissent is usually carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people, but typically, for strategic reasons, choose not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. Rather than acting openly…
When a Career Public Servant Sues the Agency He Loves
Claude Ferguson, who in his own words “met the test of his lifetime,” deviated from the norms of the U.S. Forest Service articulated by Herbert Kaufman in The Forest Ranger to became a government guerrilla against the organization he loved. This profile highlights several enduring themes: the inherent tensions between democracy and bureaucracy, the many masters of career bureaucrats, how organizational culture can both empower and constrain emplo…
Introduction to the Symposium on Collaborative Public Management
Conclusion
The New Governance
Leaders in public affairs identify tools and instruments for the new governance through networks of public, private, and nonprofit organizations. We argue the new governance also involves people—the tool makers and tool users—and the processes through which they participate in the work of government. Practitioners are using new quasi‐legislative and quasi‐judicial governance processes, including deliberative democracy, e‐democracy, public convers…
Routes to Scholarly Success in Public Administration
The Successful Scholars Project examined the determinants of successful public administration scholars. We surveyed the top 89 public administration scholars alive today (nominated by leaders of five national organizations) and asked them to rank a set of characteristics and behaviors that may have helped them achieve their success. We then analyzed the curricula vitae of 63 of the scholars. This article reports our study's findings and the recom…
Breaking up Is Hard to Do
Public services in many states have been placed under federal court supervision. In our 1991 PAR article, we examined the implications of the federal judicial decisions in supervising the Kansas City Metropolitan School District for the “new triumviate” governing public services—public officials, legislators, and judges. In this article, we examine judicial decisions affecting the same school district a decade later to reveal the impact of judici…

that the courts are the senior partners. On September 15, 1987, United States District Court Judge Russell Clark ordered a doubling of property taxes in Kansas City, Missouri, in order to aid in the desegregation of the school system. Nine thousand Kansas Citians voiced their disapproval by paying their property taxes under protest, while others responded by staging a series of tea parties to complain about taxation without representation. Two an…

The Bureaucratic Politics Paradox
The importance of the environment in which public managers work and in which public organizations seek to thrive is undeniable. Organization theorists maintain that organizations both are shaped by and seek to shape the environment in which they exist. That public managers need to be aware of and work with forces in their environment is almost commonsensical. Yet there is little empirical evidence in either the organizations theory literature or …

Lessons Learned from Two Decades of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs and Processes at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Mediation, facilitation, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques are being used in federal agencies, state and local governments, private‐sector organizations, and among private citizens in an effort to prevent and resolve disputes in a timely, cost‐effective, and less adversarial manner. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), one of the pioneers in the application of ADR processes and techniques to public policy disput…
Intergovernmental Relations and Federalism in Environmental Management and Policy
Although issue of intergovernmental relations has occupied a position of central importance in public administration, federalism policy has only episodically been addressed as an issue of national importance by Congress and president. At present time, however, political branches of federal government are engaged in an intense and fundamental policy debate in domestic policy areas as diverse as welfare and criminal justice over how to assign respo…

Balancing Risk and Finance
What impact have unfunded environmental mandates had on local governments? Carol Cimitile, Victoria Kennedy, Henry Lambright, Rosemary O'Leary, and Paul Weiland's two-pronged research studied seven local governments in New York State in 1994. First, they examined if and how these local governments prioritized risks (such as environmental and public health problems) to decide what environmental areas should have priority. Second, they examined how…

Federalism and Environmental Policy
This article examines current policy concerning the interstate transport of waste with particular reference to the relative role of different levels of government in shaping and implementing waste management policy in five key United States Supreme Court cases and two recent Court of Appeals cases.

Trash Talk
Americans generate more domestic waste than any other country in the world. 1996, for example, we generated an estimated 200,000,000 tons of domestic waste, the equivalent of 875 kilograms per person. That same year, Japan generated an estimated 40,225,000 tons of domestic waste, averaging 288 kilograms per person, while neighboring Canada generated an estimated 12,600,000 tons of domestic waste, averaging 525 kilograms per person. This excessive…

Is Federalism Dead or Alive in the Supreme Court? Implications for Public Administrators
The Progressive Ratcheting of Environmental Laws
One of the problem‐making tendencies in environmental policymaking has been an incremental approach to regulation and control. Either because the full dimensions of an environmental problem are not perceived or because political resistance compels step‐by‐step action, environmental controls tend to be applied progressively, beginning with nominal, largely ineffectual, retroactive declarations. Failing to meet objectives, laws are toughened and ex…

Advice to New Teachers
While I have won eight teaching awards—two of them national—the thought that I am capable of conveying pearls of wisdom about teaching seems as ridiculous today as it did when I started teaching 12 years ago. I do, however, feel comfortable sharing one “secret” of my success. My advice to new teachers is always as follows. Turn it inside out: Focus on the students as great learners, not on yourself as a great teacher
