Description
Public administration is sometimes considered to be a rational process that occurs outside the political process. It is primarily concerned with facts, reason, data, and obsessed with objectivity. Efficiency, effectiveness, and economy are its guiding frameworks. From this framework, public administration might seem purely managerial and scientific; civil servants receive their marching orders from their political masters, gather the facts, and implement public policy that fits political directives. In this sense, politics and administration are separate and distinct. Politics determines policy and administration implements it. In reality, public administration exists in a multi-faceted framework that considers not just managerial values, but constitutional, political, and societal concerns. In many ways, public administration is political. Administrators are not instruments who merely apply public policy as set forth by politicians, but use their experience, expertise, and conception of the good to form and reshape public ends. To understand this civil servant and this civil service, public administration must be understood from a historical, institutional, political, and managerial viewpoint. From this comprehensive perspective, public administration remains meaningful despite the attacks directed against it. In particular, this class examines a multitude of approaches that are used to understand public administration.
