Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chatelaine Press has reissued two important books on Public Administration - ACTION THEORY FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION by Michael M. Harmon & ORGANIZATION THEORY FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION by Michael M. Harmon & Richard T. Mayer. In ACTION THEORY, Harmon takes head-on two vexatious problems in public administration: the need to relate theories to practice & the need to integrate values into what many regard as a science. Harmon's action theory begins with the face-to-face encounter that requires a decision, a reaction, or a plan. The purpose of the book is to provide a context for the critical appraisal of public administration theory & practice. The purpose of ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY, is to illuminate, from a wide variety of perspectives, the organizational contexts within which public administrators act. The book is practical - in ways that are instrumental, moral & diagnostic. Considering the many schools of thought in organization theory, they choose an approach which is more modest than synthesis & more useful than merely acknowledging the differences among theories. The distinctive relevance of organization theory to public organizations is a major tenet of this book. The intended audience for the books is both academics concerned with public administration & practicing administrators. To order: Chatelaine Press, 6454 Honey Tree Ct. Burke, VA 22015-3901. 703-569-2062.

Download or read book Critical Social Theory in Public Administration written by Richard C Box and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential premise of critical social theory is that contemporary society is neither democratic nor free, but that modern global capitalism creates a citizenry satiated with consumer goods, unaware of alternative ways of living. In the public sector, critical theory suggests that governing systems are influenced, if not controlled, by the wealthy and powerful, leaving public professionals to decide whether to serve those interests or the interests of a broader public. This book provides a framework for the application of critical social theory in public administration. Its goal is to encourage awareness among public administration scholars and practitioners of social conditions that tend to shape and constrain scholarship, practice, teaching, and social change. At a time when concern for public interest and a civil society have largely been displaced by the goals of economic efficiency and the "New Public Management," Critical Social Theory in Public Administration presents a viable alternative that incorporates the latest views of postmodern thinking with the central elements of critical social theory.

Download or read book Public Administration in Perspective written by David John Farmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its history, public administration has used a number of different perspectives for analyzing the discipline's theory and practice, and both mainstream and alternative lenses have produced valuable insights and prescriptions. At the same time, an individual way of looking at PA can be misleading. Alone, a solitary lens can miss critical aspects and often gives only part of the picture. Public Administration in Perspective has been specifically crafted to give new life to public administration theory and practice by helping readers view the discipline through a variety of perspectives. Designed for the capstone course in public administration programs, as well as a fresh approach for courses in PA theory and organizational theory, this unique book provides a culminating experience--bringing together what has been learned in previous MPA courses without simply rehashing old content. It offers a comprehensive guide to eleven major approaches to PA, and synthesizes them to deepen our understanding of the discipline. Each chapter in Part I describes the key features of the selected perspective--history, content, and proponents--and discusses the strengths and weaknesses related to PA theory and practice. Part II synthesizes the various perpectives, with specific implications for PA management and practice. Part III concludes with a complete overview, identifying ways in which readers can think more creatively and productively about PA, putting the perspectives themselves into perspective.
