A General Assessment and Cross Analyses of Instrumental and Value Rationalities-Oriented Schools of Public Administration Theories -- Bibliography. "This book analyzes public administration theories from the perspective of instrumental and value rationalities. In the instrumental rationality camp are the theories of Traditional Public Administration, Privatization, New Public Management, and Holistic Governance. The theories of New Public Administration, Democratic Administration, New Public Service, and Public Value Management fall into the camp of value rationality. The eight theories are analyzed in light of the five elements of core value, assumption about human nature, methodology, role of government, and disciplinary positioning. The two camps of schools alternate in dominance in the evolution of public administration theories, presenting pendulum movements. The existing relevant research is mainly approached from the perspectives of: development stages, schools of theories, research paradigms, research routes and etc. The book presents a new perspective of the two rationalities, leaving readers with a clear understanding of the main vein of knotty evolution of the 120-odd years of Public Administration theories"-- Public administration. 61279 Public administration Philosophy. 61280 Public administration. 61279 POLITICAL SCIENCE / General. bisacsh 61281 POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory. bisacsh 61282 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. bisacsh 61283 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg re04 2015-04-20 re04 2015-04-20 ONIX xn08 2016-04-13 1 copy rec'd., to CIP ver.
