520 _aThe politics-administration dichotomy was long ago dismissed as either a descriptive or (except for a few notable holdouts) prescriptive account of what the role of public administration should be. Political involvement - coalition formation, symbol manipulation, constituency mobilization - by public administrators is an everyday occurrence. Political engagement remains problematic for public administrators, however.
