This Handbook brings together a collection of leading international
authors to reflect on the influence of central contributions, or
classics, that have shaped the development of the field of public
policy and administration. The Handbook reflects on a wide range of
key contributions to the field, selected on the basis of their
international and wider disciplinary impact. Focusing on classics
that contributed significantly to the field over the second half of
the 20th century, it offers insights into works that have explored
aspects of the policy process, of particular features of
bureaucracy, and of administrative and policy reforms. Each classic
is discussed by a leading international scholars. They offer unique
insights into the ways in which individual classics have been
received in scholarly debates and disciplines, how classics have
shaped evolving research agendas, and how the individual classics
continue to shape contemporary scholarly debates. In doing so, this
volume offers a novel approach towards considering the various
central contributions to the field. The Handbook offers students of
public policy and administration state-of-the-art insights into the
enduring impact of key contributions to the field.
Given the influence of public bureaucracies in policymaking and
implementation, Steven J. Balla and William T. Gormley assess their
performance using four key perspectives-bounded rationality,
principal-agent theory, interest group mobilization, and network
theory-to help students develop an analytic framework for
evaluating bureaucratic accountability. The new Fourth Edition
provides a thorough review of bureaucracy during the Obama and
Trump administrations, as well as new attention to state and local
level examples and the role of bureaucratic values.
