Autonomy grounded in subordinations: a framework for responding to competing institutional norms 1995 p.231-46 Sep This article uses the normative framework provided by the concept of autonomy grounded in subordination to view competing institutional pressures in three government agencies (the Office of Management and Budget, the General Accounting Office, and the Department of Justice). This framework suggests that the proper perspective for viewing an agency in a government of separate but shared powers is one of balancing responsibility to multiple masters. The use of the subordinate autonomy framework fosters an attitude that embraces the ambiguity and tensions of governance, and will heighten awareness of what it means to practice administrative statesmanship. - Reproduced Public administration American Review of Public Administration 36752 36752 36752 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 25, Issue no: 3 AR37073 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
