The Present Challenges to Aspa as an Association That Promotes Public Professionalism
What is ASPA's place among core public professional organizations as well as public official associations? All public organizations are affected by tough competition for membership. Relatively few members of other public associations join ASPA, and vice versa. Only a minority of faculty members who teach in public affairs programs belong to ASPA, and at top schools, the proportion is even lower. When comparing ASPA to other public official associ…
The President’s Committee on Administrative Management
The final report of the President’s Committee on Administrative Management has been widely cited as a landmark study designed to improve executive branch management. This observation, however, does not tell the complete story of its constitutional complexity. In addition to the report that President Roosevelt submitted to Congress in 1937, he commissioned five additional studies that, individually and collectively, reveal the untold story of the …
Reflections and Assessment
The Thinning of Administrative Institutions in the Hollow State
During the past 20 years or so, governments worldwide have embarked on an ambitious journey to improve government performance. Relying on a multitude of administrative technologies broadly classified under the heading of the New Public Management (NPM), reformers have sought to radically change the manner in which the public's business is conducted. Although the verdict is still out, evidence is accumulating that NPM philosophy and practices may …

Public Administration Review
From Greek Mythology to the Real World of the New Public Management and Democratic Governance (Terry Responds)
I would like to thank the editors of the Public Administration Review (PAR) for this opportunity to respond to Professor Howard Frant's (in this issue) critical review of my article, Administrative Leadership, Neo-Managerialism and the Public Management Movement (PAR, May/June, 1998). I also wish to thank Professor Frant for accepting the public invitation to engage in a constructive and meaningful dialogue on the New Public Management and its im…
Administrative Leadership, Neo-Managerialism, and the Public Management Movement
Scholars in the public community have used a collection of different approaches to advance the understanding of public management research and practice.(1) These approaches may be broadly classified as quantitative/analytic management, management, liberation management, and market-driven management. In recent years, liberation and market-driven management have emerged as the dominant approaches in the field. Consistent with arguments advanced by …
Minority Public Administrators
We would like to thank the editors of PAR for this opportunity to respond to Professor Thomas Martinez' (this issue) critique of out article, Minority Public Administrators: The Thesis Revisited (September/October, 1994). We would also like to thank Professor Martinez for his contribution to the crucial dialogue on minorities and Public While we do not share Professor Martinez's assessment of our work, we do believe that public discussions of thi…
Public Administration and the Theater Metaphor
Since the founding of this nation, the theater metaphor has had an influence on political discourse. Politicians often invoke the metaphor when they enact political dramas to construct themselves in the image of leader. An argument is presented that former President Ronald Reagan and his political strategists made extensive use of this strategy and were effective in portraying public administrators as evil villains. It is also argued that support…
Administrative Interpretation of Statutes
The delegation of broad discretionary powers from the legislature to administrative agencies is a subject that starts the adrenaline flowing. This is especially true for many who write about public administration and the Constitution. The intense physical reaction is precipitated, in part, by the passionate debate regarding the legitimacy of the administrative state (see for example, Spicer and Terry, 1993; Lowi, 1993; Rohr, 1993; Warren, 1993). …
Cooperative Extension's Urban Expansion
In 1914, Congress established the Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service. This unique and complex educational system is a three-way cooperative relationship between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant colleges and universities, and several thousand county governments. The Extension Service was created to disseminate scientific information (generated at the land-grant institutions) to farmers and their families in order to improve a…
The Role Demands and Dilemmas of Minority Public Administrators
In 1974, ten years after passage of the Civil Rights Act, the Public Review published a symposium entitled Minorities in Public Administration (Herbert, 1974a). This symposium included six essays that addressed a variety of topics ranging from the difficulties faced by African American elected officials to the forms of discrimination experienced by Hispanics at all levels of government. Adam W. Herbert (1974b), the symposium's editor and author o…
Why We Should Abandon the Misconceived Quest to Reconcile Public Entrepreneurship with Democracy
C arl J. Bellone and George Frederick Goerl (1992) build an intriguing case for public entrepreneurship. By strategically structuring an argument in the tradition of the bureaucracy/democracy debate, they attempt to legitimize the concept of public entrepreneurship by asserting that it can be reconciled with democratic politics and administration.1 Bellone and Goerl's argument presents the underlying values and characteristics of public entrepren…

The Public Administrator Ashero
Leadership in the Administrative State
This essay provides an alternative framework for interpreting the leadership role of public administrators in governance. It is argued, contrary to the views held by a large band of public administration theorists, that leadership in the administrative state need not and should not be governed solely by the entrepreneurial leadership model. In fact, excessive entrepreneurship is seen as a threat to public institutions. An argument is presented th…
