摘要：The field of public administration and management exhibits a limited number of favored themes and theories, including influential New Public Management and Network Governance accounts of contemporary government. Can additional social sciencebased perspectives enrich its theoretical base, in particular, analyzing a long-term shift to indirect governance evident in the field? We suggest that a variant of Foucauldian analysis is helpful, namely Anglo-governmentality. Having reviewed the literatur...

摘要：Agencies must simultaneously weigh technical information along with the political and distributive consequences of their decisions. In a study of the US Environmental Protection Agencys (EPAs) implementation of federal pesticide regulations, I show that the EPA accounts for both case and constituency factors. I assess the effects of both uncertainty and information in agency decisions. I offer the use of a multilevel model with three types of random effects to capture specific case factors (th...

摘要：Though management is theorized as a temporal process, and public organizations are understood as generally inertial, most public management studies rely upon cross-sectional research designs. As such, we have little understanding about how public management matters over time. To fill this gap in the literature, this article conducts a longitudinal analysis of one of the most established management theories: Basss full range of leadership theory. This theory expects positive outcomes when manag...
