• The Case for Congressional Budgeting AI翻译
  作者：Wehner, Joachim
  作者单位：University of London; London School Economics & Political Science
  摘要：William Howard Taft and Frederick A. Cleveland's vision of executive budgeting clashes with the unique status of the U.S. Congress among the world's legislatures, and its proponents may exaggerate the potential for presidents to act as fiscal guardians. This article advocates more congressional budgeting by reinstituting effective fiscal rules and strengthening the role of the budget committees. These mechanisms would enhance fiscal discipline and aid consolidation.
• The Future of the Study of Public Administration: Embedding Research Object and Methodology in Epistemology and Ontology AI翻译

  摘要：What should be done to advance the study of public administration? A strong argument is advanced by outgoing PAR managing editor Jos C. N. Raadschelders that the field benefits significantly from greater attention to ontology and epistemology. To be sure, empirical, evidence-based research has its place, but its basis and the meaning of findings seldom are questioned. Why? Many public administration scholars seek scientificness through a disciplinary type of methodology. However, working withi...

  摘要：What is the most effective framework for analyzing complex accountability challenges within governing networks? Recognizing the multiscale and intersector (public, private, and nonprofit) characteristics of these networks, an accountability model is advanced organized around democratic (elected representatives, citizens, and the legal system), market (owners and consumers), as well as administrative (bureaucratic, professional and collaborative) relationships. This concept draws from 2005 even...
• The Duty to Take Care: President Obama, Public Administration, and the Capacity to Govern AI翻译
  作者：Cooper, Phillip J.
  作者单位：Portland State University
  摘要：President Barack Obama inherited many challenges as he entered the White House. One of the most important obligations he faced was the constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Meeting that commitment has been rendered more difficult because Obama seems not to have recognized that the people and organizations of the executive branch are facing a crisis in the capacity to govern. This essay argues that no matter how talented President Obama may be in public policy o...

  摘要：This study examines the effects of human and structural/process factors on two types of innovation-administrative and technological-in a sample of nonprofit organizations. The results indicate that factors that are favorable to administrative innovations differ from those that are conducive to technological innovation. Three variables are significant predictors of administrative innovation: centralization, transformational leadership, and the executive director's job tenure. Transformational l...
• Putting Conflict Where It Belongs: A Response to Creating Shared Responsibility through Respect for Military Culture: The Russian and American Cases AI翻译
  作者：Murdie, Amanda
  作者单位：Kansas State University
  摘要：Professor Dale R. Herspring argues that civil-military relations should move beyond a preoccupation with civilian control; instead, he says, the focus should be on the degree and nature of conflict within civil-military interactions. This alternative theoretical view adds much to the extant literature and allows future work to concentrate both on a more nuanced account of the effects of civil-military relations and, as Professor Herspring does, on the determinants of a healthy degree of civil-...

  作者：Hardy, Catherine A.; Williams, Susan P.
  作者单位：University of Sydney
  摘要：There is a growing recognition in the field of e-government that improving the quality and impact of research requires taking into account their complex contexts and drawing on more interdisciplinary and collaborative research. Limited attention so far has been directed toward the conduct of such research, particularly in contract-based research arrangements for developing e-government policy. A four-nation study of public e-procurement policy is used here to make transparent the process of de...
