One of the major dilemmas facing the administrative state in the
United States today is discerning how best to harness for public
purposes the dynamism of markets, the passion and commitment of
nonprofit and volunteer organizations, and the
public-interest-oriented expertise of the career civil service.
Researchers across a variety of disciplines, fields, and subfields
have independently investigated aspects of the formidable
challenges, choices, and opportunities this dilemma poses for
governance, democratic constitutionalism, and theory building. This
literature is vast, affords multiple and conflicting perspectives,
is methodologically diverse, and is fragmented. The Oxford Handbook
of American Bureaucracy affords readers an uncommon overview and
integration of this eclectic body of knowledge as adduced by many
of its most respected researchers. Each of the chapters identifies
major issues and trends, critically takes stock of the state of
knowledge, and ponders where future research is most promising.
Unprecedented in scope, methodological diversity, scholarly
viewpoint, and substantive integration, this volume is invaluable
for assessing where the study of American bureaucracy stands at the
end of the first decade of the 21st century, and where leading
scholars think it should go in the future.
The Oxford Handbooks of American Politics are a set of reference
books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the
state of scholarship on American politics. Each volume focuses on a
particular aspect of the field. The project is under the General
Editorship of George C. Edwards III, and distinguished specialists
in their respective fields edit each volume. The Handbooks aim not
just to report on the discipline, but also to shape it as scholars
critically assess the scholarship on a topic and propose directions
in which it needs to move. The series is an indispensable reference
for anyone working in American politics.
