摘要：The privatization experience of U.S. municipalities shows declining use of complete contracts and a dramatic rise in mixed public private delivery (joint contracting) of city services. The analysis here shows that city managers have recognized the need to move beyond a simple dichotomy between market delivery and public planning to an approach that balances concerns with efficiency, market management, and citizen satisfaction. The New Public Management stresses the importance of competition an...

摘要：Executive leadership in state government is examined at two levels, both from the perspectives of the heads of state administrative agencies responding to mail question surveys in 1994, 1998, and 2004. At one level, the status and strength of the governor in controlling and leading the executive branch are assessed. At the second (agency) level, state executives (and their agencies) are assessed on four criteria that are connected, directly or indirectly, with the aims of the Winter Commission...

摘要：Dwight Waldo's conception of the politics-administration question might be better understood as a relationship that contains elements of separation and intermixture rather than a dichotomy, according to this author-commentator.

This article focuses on one of the less studied types of public-nonprofit collaborations, those in which philanthropic support from nonprofit organizations supplements the resources and activities of public agencies. Drawing on the case of nonprofit-as-supplement collaborations...

Public administration has much to contribute to our understanding of these systems. This article provides an overview of the field, highlighting linkages to theoretical approaches in public administration and emphasizing the importance of mana...
