Throughout its history, public administration has used a number of
different perspectives for analyzing the discipline's theory and
practice, and both mainstream and alternative lenses have produced
valuable insights and prescriptions. At the same time, an
individual way of looking at PA can be misleading. Alone, a
solitary lens can miss critical aspects and often gives only part
of the picture. Public Administration in Perspective has been
specifically crafted to give new life to public administration
theory and practice by helping readers view the discipline through
a variety of perspectives. Designed for the capstone course in
public administration programs, as well as a fresh approach for
courses in PA theory and organizational theory, this unique book
provides a culminating experience--bringing together what has been
learned in previous MPA courses without simply rehashing old
content. It offers a comprehensive guide to eleven major approaches
to PA, and synthesizes them to deepen our understanding of the
discipline. Each chapter in Part I describes the key features of
the selected perspective--history, content, and proponents--and
discusses the strengths and weaknesses related to PA theory and
practice. Part II synthesizes the various perpectives, with
specific implications for PA management and practice. Part III
concludes with a complete overview, identifying ways in which
readers can think more creatively and productively about PA,
putting the perspectives themselves into perspective.
