Public administrative theory and the separation of powers

By: Rosenbloom, David.
Material type: materialTypeLabelArticlePublisher: 2013Description: p.1-17.Subject(s): Separation of powers | Public administration In: Administrative ChangeSummary: Public administrative theory contains at least three distinctive approaches. These can be labelled "managerial," "political," and "legal." Each has relatively separate origins, emphasizes different values, promotes different organizational structures, and views individuals in different terms. These three approaches reflect the constitutional separation of powers, which has tended to collapse into the administrative state. The development of a more coherent body of public administrative theory must recognize the utility of each of these approaches as they apply to various aspects of administration. The experience of practitioners, who are often perforce compelled to integrate these approaches on the job, can be an invaluable guide to such theory-building. - Reproduced.
