Originally published in 1973, the chapters in this volume tackle a
wide range of problems arising from this process of modernization.
The first section looks at the discussion of ideas and theories
about administration in the nineteenth century, when some
organizational ideology became firmly-rooted and went unquestioned
for many years. These chapters also examine the inevitable
questions of reform and major reorganization which later arose in
the United States, Britain and elsewhere. The second section moves
on from the theory and practice of administrative structures to
some consideration of practical problems within organizations,
problems of personnel and administrative method. Management
questions of staff conditions and careers and job differentiation
are examined, and the Fulton report on reform in such areas is
discussed. The final group of chapters looks at a variety of
substantive issues such as defence and civil-military relations,
the advent of independence from colonial government, development
policies and development administration. Two major themes emerge.
One concerns the extent to which administrative organizations are
instruments to be used or institutions which exercise an almost
autonomous control over our lives; to what extent is public policy
translated into real terms by the institutions concerned? The
second theme is concerned with the impact of institution on people,
both in terms of broad policy and programmes and in practical,
day-to-day communication across the counter between rank-and-file
bureaucrat and the ordinary citizen.
