Climate Scientists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Climate scientists working through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations have been centrally involved in global efforts to deal with climate change. The impact of their work has been less than they expected. Multiple, complexly related factors have contributed to its limited impact, but this article will focus on how the IPCC's ontology, epistemology, and practices have contributed to the inability of climate …

Administrative "Interpretation" as Policy-Making
Because it is more difficult to get new statutes passed or to amend statutes that have been adopted, presidential administrations may resort to adopting new "interpretations" of statutes in order to further their policy agendas. In the literature, this strategy has often been among those included within "the administrative presidency." Since the Nixon administration, the administrative presidency approach has become an accepted and expected part …

Introduction to the Symposium
The Relevance Of U.S. Public Administration Theory For Russian Public Administration
Are U.S. public administration theorists addressing the field in ways that translate meaningfully to other cultures? The purpose of this essay is to explore whether the major concerns addressed by U.S. p.a. theorists are relevant to the major governance issues facing Russian public administration. The imprint of U.S. political, economic and administrative theories on globalization in general and "democratization" in such places as Iraq and the Ru…
The Tale That Wagged the Dog
This essay argues that the Progressive Era is not the foundation of American Public Administration. Granting the significance of that era in framing a self-conscious, professional public administration in the United States, it argues that the importance of the Progressive Era has been overstated. The author prefers to depict that era's contributions as part of a series of framings and reframings of American public administration. The essay does t…
Pliestocenic Public Administration
This article examines the challenges of developing an ecocentric public administration through an exploration of the ecological philosophy of Paul Shepard. His philosophy is an example of the 'deep ecology' perspective; in Shepard's view modern public administration has played no small part in damaging our ecological relations with the rest of nature. To repair that damage and develop an ecocentric public administration, we would need to examine …

History and American Public Administration
As the end of this millennium approaches, American public administration has begun a reexamination of its history. This article examines American public administration’s understanding and use of history and suggests improvements in public administration theory that might derive from a more conscientious treatment of history. It begins by framing an understanding of history that does not retreat to the ancient faith in immutable truth but eschews …
Pulp Nonfiction
Citizen-Administrator Connections
As public administrators attempt to decide where to site public facilities, they often conduct activities designed to encourage citizen participation. It frequently is not clear that public involvement is enhanced through those activities. Perhaps one of the reasons those activities are less successful than they might be is that administrators and citizens enter into them without a very thorough understanding of their own motivations, much less t…
