"What can the field of public administration learn from a re-examination of its past that acknowledges the important role of women reformers? Camilla Stivers argues that, in contrast to existing accounts, the development of thinking about the administrative state needs to be understood not only in terms of the efforts of "bureau men" interested in making administrative methods more efficient but also of "settlement women" who sought and won the expansion of governmental responsibility for social ills. By seeing the field of public administration as an intellectual enterprise that encompasses both procedural and substantive concerns, a reconstructed history may raise awareness of the policy interests apparently procedural actions can serve. A "usable past" for public administration may also deepen our understanding of the substantive implications that lie beneath continued calls for procedural reform, such as "reinventing government" |
