Although the relationship between elected officials and
appointed executives has often been viewed as a struggle between
master and servant--with disagreements as to which individuals
occupy which roles--Poul Erik Mouritzen's and James Svara's
comparison of city governments in fourteen countries reveals more
interdependence and shared influence than conflict over
control.
Mouritzen and Svara bring local government to the forefront,
emphasizing the sophisticated level of city management in
Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, the
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom,
and the United States. Their findings lead to a revision of the
general view concerning the boundaries of public administration.
"Leadership at the Apex" illustrates in practical ways how the
democratic control of government and professional administration
can coexist without undermining the logic or integrity of each
other.
