Dialog between practitioners and academics has increasingly become
the exception rather than the rule in contemporary public
administration circles. Bridging the gap between theory and
practice, Debating Public Administration: Management Challenges,
Choices, and Opportunities tackles some of the major management
challenges, choices, and opportunities of the twenty-first century
facing public managers across various subfields of public
administration. Informed by contemporary pressures on public
managers to reconceptualize purpose, redefine administrative
rationality, recapitalize human assets, reengage resources, and
revitalize democratic constitutionalism, the book offers students,
practitioners, and researchers an opportunity to take stock and
ponder the future of practice and research in public
administration. Organized by three sets of major management
challenges facing the field-Rethinking Administrative Rationality
in a Democratic Republic, Recapitalizing Organizational Capacity,
and Reconceptualizing Institutions for New Policy Challenges-the
book takes an uncommon approach to the study of these topics. In
it, leading practitioners and academics comment on condensed
versions of articles appearing in the Theory to Practice feature of
Public Administration Review (PAR) from 2006 through 2011. The
authors and commentators focus on some of the best current
research, draw lessons from that literature for practice, and
identify gaps in research that need to be addressed. They expertly
draw out themes, issues, problems, and prospects, providing
bulleted lessons and practical takeaways. This makes the book a
unique one-stop resource for cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral,
and cross-professional exchanges on contemporary challenges.
