Is public administration an art or a science? This question of
whether the field is driven by values or facts will never be
definitively answered due to a lack of consensus among scholars.
The resulting divide has produced many heated debates; however, in
this pioneering volume, Norma Riccucci embraces the diversity of
research methods rather than suggesting that there is one best way
to conduct research in public administration.
"Public Administration" examines the intellectual origins and
identity of the discipline of public administration, its diverse
research traditions, and how public administration research is
conducted today. The book's intended purpose is to engage
reasonable-minded public administration scholars and professionals
in a dialogue on the importance of heterogeneity in epistemic
traditions, and to deepen the field's understanding and acceptance
of its epistemological scope. This important book will provide a
necessary overview of the discipline for graduate students and
scholars.
