The uneasy relationship between practitioner and academic knowledge in public administration  c2014  ap.118-137.  aMar  aThe article reflects on the observation that no on group - practitioners, academics, or clients - can claim to possess the full truth on any question in public administration (PA). PA is enriched and afflicted by its practical nature; its students try to persuade colleagues and political and administrative elites of the truth of their findings. Most PA literature presents propositions as logical means to reach desired ends, but disagreement is possible and likely over means and ends. Beyond disagreements on values, many disciplines relevant to PA also ensure differing perspective. We argue for varied methodologies that recognize stakeholder interests and which minimize methods of persuasion promising too much  and ignoring important problems. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aWilson, V.
