作者：Toonen, Theo

作者单位：Delft University of Technology; Delft University of Technology; Leiden University - Excl LUMC; Leiden University

摘要：This essay examines the remarkable careers of Elinor and Vincent Ostrom, exploring polycentricity and human management of common property resources from the no-name fields of public administration in the late 1950s, through the metropolitan public service industries and public choice approach to democratic administration in the 1960s and 1970s and the institutional analysis of common pool resource management of the 1980s and 1990s. It continues with the diagnosis of the self-governing capabili...

Examining Small Town Revenues: To What Extent Are They Diversified?

作者：Carroll, Deborah A.; Johnson, Terri

作者单位：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia; University System of Ohio; John Carroll University

摘要：How diversified are small town revenues? Revenue diversification is analyzed among towns governed by town meetings. Using previously developed diversification measures, the findings confirm that these localities draw from less diverse revenue streams than other state and local governments. The reasons for these variations include differences in home rule status as well as tax and expenditure limitations imposed by states. The authors suggest that revenue allocation in these jurisdictions is su...

Understanding Street-Level Bureaucrats' Decision Making: Determining Eligibility in the Social Security Disability Program

作者：Keiser, Lael R.

作者单位：University of Missouri System; University of Missouri Columbia; University of Missouri System; University of Missouri Columbia

摘要：Personal interactions between clients and street-level bureaucrats are significant in explaining why street-level bureaucrats behave as they do. Not all bureaucracies that apply program rules to individuals, however, engage face-to-face with their clientele. As more intake procedures are automated, such one-on-one encounters decrease. The author generates and tests hypotheses about frontline bureaucratic decision making in the Social Security Disability program, by applying bounded rationality...

Did Max Weber's Agony and Ecstasy Influence His Scholarship?

作者：Raadschelders, Jos C. N.

作者单位：University of Oklahoma System; University of Oklahoma - Norman

摘要：When exploring the intellectual history of a discipline, one cannot help but wonder about the real person behind the scholarship. To what extent do personal life experiences influence a scholar's theories, conceptualizations, and expectations? Max Weber, the German scholar whose intellectual curiosity was, at least partially, inspired by strong personal anxieties, became one of the most influential social scientists of the twentieth century. His own intellectual and personal obsessions, along ...

The Effect of Problem Severity, Managerial and Organizational Capacity, and Agency Structure on Intergovernmental Collaboration: Evidence from Local Emergency Management

作者：McGuire, Michael; Silvia, Chris

作者单位：Indiana University System; Indiana University Bloomington

摘要：Like most public managers nowadays, local emergency managers operate within complex, uncertain environments. Rapid changes in the scope and severity of the issues increase the extent of intergovernmental collaboration necessary to address such challenges. Using a large data set of county emergency management agency directors, variations in intergovernmental collaboration reflect influences from problem severity, managerial capacity, and structural factors. The results demonstrate that public m...

Interlocal Service Cooperation in US Cities: A Social Network Explanation

作者：LeRoux, Kelly; Brandenburger, Paul W.; Pandey, Sanjay K.

作者单位：University of Kansas; Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick; Rutgers University Newark

摘要：Local governments increasingly confront policy problems that span the boundaries of individual political jurisdictions. Institutional theories of local governance and intergovernmental relations emphasize the importance of networks for fostering service cooperation among local governments. Yet empirical research fails to examine systematically the effects of social networks on interlocal service cooperation. Do the individual networks of local government actors increase their jurisdiction's le...

Spanning Bleeding Boundaries: Humanitarianism, NGOs, and the Civilian-Military Nexus in the Post-Cold War Era

作者：Roberts, Nancy C.

作者单位：United States Department of Defense; United States Navy; Naval Postgraduate School

摘要：How do nongovernmental (NGO), international (IO), and military organizations cope with their dependencies and address their perceptual and real differences in order to coordinate their field operations? This question is addressed through the creation of a matrix grouping civilian (NGOs and IOs) and military operations into four general types: peacekeeping; disaster relief; complex humanitarian emergencies/warfare; and stabilization and reconstruction. Second, using Galbraith's information proc...

The Conditions of Care: Reframing the Debate about Public Sector Ethics

作者：Stensota, Helena Olofsdotter

作者单位：University of Gothenburg

摘要：While a growing body of research argues for increased attention to ethics within public administration, scholars diverge on how to conceptualize the character of public ethics. Likewise, empirical evidence regarding the role that ethics plays in the quality of service delivery is rare. The author argues that the concept of a public ethics of care is useful for public administration in welfare states. She examines the idea empirically through a large-N analysis of frontline bureaucrats within t...
