520 _aThis 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
