Military Transportation in State Freight and Defense Community Plans
The US Department of Defense (DoD) makes extensive use of the US multimodal transportation network to move material for operational support, keep facilities supplied, and move personnel. Federal agencies, especially the US Department of Transportation, work closely with the DoD. States and localities also play a critical role in defense infrastructure. This research examines state freight and defense community plans to identify how the transporta…
Seventy-Five Years of Transportation Administration Becoming Public Administration
Public sector investment in transportation accounts for about 4% of all governmental spending but may represent the public investment most frequently accessed by citizens. This means that transportation administration faces public administration (PA) type challenges, and a number of these are discussed in this special issue of Public Works Management & Policy. Transportation administration is a subfield of PA, but it has enjoyed its own distinct …
Institutional Legacy as the Driver of Port Development Strategy: The Case of the Port of Gulfport
Numerous East and Gulf Coast ports are undergoing expansions based on the prospect of increased cargo from the expansion of the Panama Canal. The Port of Gulfport in Mississippi is one of these port projects. This commentary explores how and why Mississippi decided to make a huge public investment in port infrastructure. An historical approach is used to explore the factors that led to the investment decisions. The need for economic development a…
A New Public Philosophy for a New Railroad Era: Applying the Blacksburg Manifesto to Contemporary Transportation Issues
This article begins an effort to demonstrate the relevance of the Refounding perspective to a new generation of public administrators, using railroad policy as an example. After introducing the Blacksburg Manifesto and the public philosophy that forms the normative grounding of the Refounding project, the article uses railroad administration, with its characteristics of corporatism and pluralism, to highlight the dominant Hamiltonian-Madisonian p…
Economic Development Perspectives and the Policy Process: The Case of Railroad Revitalization Versus Rails-to-Trails
State and local governance operates in the context of multiple competing economic development perspectives. This article highlights three perspectives: Thomas Friedman’s flat world metaphor, Richard Florida’s spiky creative class world, and Michael Shuman’s localism, and reviews their resulting implications for a specific case in Mississippi. The examination of whether to revitalize the Columbus and Greenville Railroad in Mississippi or turn it i…
Public Works Policy Implications of Sustainable Reverse Logistics Operations
The tremendous growth in returns has enthused private sector interest in reverse logistics (RL) as firms attempt to meet various challenges, but the implications of this trend have garnered limited public sector attention. In today’s highly competitive global economy, the ability to efficiently and effectively handle returns provides a competitive advantage so public works policy that facilitates sustainable RL through lean and green operations c…
Private sector development implications of the export performance determinants of U.S. small–medium forest enterprises to Mexico, Europe, and Asia
Public Administration Theory in the Obama Era
The authors listed above and a few others met during the 2009 Public Administration Theory Network Conference, as part of the Open Space Technology process, to talk about what the new Obama administration might mean for public administration theory. Open Space Technology is a self-organizing process where participants set their own agenda to discuss complex topics of interest (see Stout & Bryer, 2009. This essay summarizes our conversation and pr…
Rethinking local business clusters: The Case of Food Clusters for Promoting Community Development
The business cluster concept is perhaps the most popular paradigm for studying and promoting local and regional economic development. While the business cluster literature acknowledges the existence of both locally-oriented and export-oriented clusters, research and practice places overwhelming emphasis on the latter. This paper examines two food-related business clusters, the Maine local produce cluster and the export-oriented Mississippi catfis…
Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework to Understand Freight Transportation Policy Change
The advocacy coalition framework (ACF) was developed to study complex, enduring public policy processes involving multiple actors. In this article, it is applied to the freight transportation policy subsystem in the United States, in which the highway motor complex has traditionally dominated coalitions from other transportation modes (e.g., railroads, aviation, and inland waterways). Using historical analysis and the Appalachian wood products in…
