The intellectual legacy of J.E. Hodgetts

J.E. (Ted) Hodgetts was influenced by both the political economy approach that he learned at the University of Toronto and by the comprehensive historical method developed by Leonard White, under whom he studied at Chicago. His first great project, Pioneer Public Service, convinced him that responsible government was impossible without responsible public administration. The authors examine how his response to management theories and practices evolved following his participation in the Glassco, Lambert and Gomery commissions. Hodgetts consistently refused the complete separation of politics and administration, and he promoted the use of management techniques to strengthen parliamentary supervision of the public service. The two key components of his legacy are thus a commitment to the democratic values of representative government and the comprehensive study of the internal dynamics of public administration in interaction with the relevant environmental factors. Sommaire : J.E. (Ted) Hodgetts a été influencéà la fois par l'approche d'économie politique qu'il a étudiée à l'Université de Toronto et par la méthode historique globale élaborée par Leonard White, sous la tutelle de qui il a étudiéà Chicago. Son premier projet majeur intituléPioneer Public Service, l'a convaincu qu'il était impossible d'avoir un gouvernement responsable sans une administration publique responsable. Les auteurs examinent comment sa réaction aux théories et pratiques de la gestion a évolué après sa participation aux commissions Glassco, Lambert et Gomery. Ted Hodgetts a constamment refusé la séparation totale de la politique et de l'administration, et il a promu l'usage de techniques de gestion pour renforcer la supervision parlementaire de la fonction publique. Ainsi les deux éléments clés de sa contribution sont un engagement envers les valeurs démocratiques d'un gouvernement représentatif et l'étude approfondie de la dynamique interne de l'administration publique en interaction avec les facteurs environnementaux pertinents
