When invited to edit this Handbook, I agreed with three primary goals: (1) that the chapters reflect the broad issues, concerns and theoretical perspectives across the public administration and management scholarly community, (2) that the authors include internationally known senior scholars as well as early- and mid-career junior scholars to capture the broad historical perspectives that come with experience and the fresh approaches advanced by those who were socialized into the discipline by reading some of these same senior scholars, and (3) that the authors represent a cross-section of the world, so that the final Handbook is not a product relevant only for scholars and students in the United States or in Western societies but throughout the world. Within these pages are 26 chapters written by 39 authors/co-authors and representing 13 countries.Authors/co-authors include recently minted PhD students and current PhD students, mid-career associate professors, and senior scholars whose work is foundational to the considered topics.
The Handbook is broken into five parts, though readers of the full volume will find clear relationships across both chapters within each part and across parts. In this Introduction, I suggest where some of these linkages exist. First, I describe the plan of the book.
Part I concerns theories on the role of public administration. As a field of practice, the purpose of public administration in society has been and remains contested. Indeed, defining public administration itself and the values that give it and the people who work within it their identity are not only contested but, in some cases, in conflict with each other.
In Chapter 1, Patrick Overeem from Vrije University Amsterdam in the Netherlands considers the role of public administration vis-à-vis politics, as an art of separation. He concludes that administration must not be either separated from nor subordinate to politics but be both simultaneously, and the key to achieving this balance is administrative discretion. As he writes in the chapter, “administrative values need protections against encroachment by politics, political values against encroachments by administration, and above all constitutional values against encroachments by the state as a whole.” This requires a careful negotiation across legitimate interests and concerns of both public administrators and those who are more strictly defined as existing within the political sphere. The idea of negotiation is advanced further in the second chapter by Thomas Bryer and Nina Alvandipour of the University of Central Florida in the United States.
Bryer and Alvandipour consider public administration and citizen participation. Consistent with Overeem’s identified challenge for public administration to be multiple things and have multiple identities simultaneously, Bryer and Alvandipour suggest that public administration and public administrators must simultaneously be open to being influenced by the will of the people and also protected from being subservient to that will. After reviewing historical and contemporary perspectives on the question, they conclude that the path forward is to develop mutual skepticism between citizens and public administrators.
