• Reorganizing for national security and homeland security AI翻译
  作者：Newmann, WW

  摘要：This article considers the post-September 11 challenges faced by the U.S. national security machinery and analyzes the relationship between the new threat environment, the United States's role in the world, and decision-making structure. Homeland security is defined as a subset of national security. The threat of foreign terrorist organizations acting on U.S. soil should be seen in the political context of the pursuit of U.S. national interests in an often anarchic world. Two models for homela...

  摘要：How can public officials be held accountable, and yet avoid the paradoxes and pathologies of the current mechanisms of accountability? The answer, claims Harmon (1995), is dialogue. But what exactly is dialogue, and how is it created? More importantly, how can dialogue ensure accountability? To address these questions, I begin with a brief description of dialogue and its basic features, distinguishing it from other forms of communication. An example illustrates how dialogue occurs in actual pr...

• The budget-minimizing bureaucrat? Empirical evidence from the senior executive service AI翻译
  作者：Dolan, J

  摘要：In a representative democracy, we assume the populace exerts some control over the actions and outputs of government officials, ensuring they comport with public preferences. However, the growth of the fourth branch of government has created a paradox: Unelected bureaucrats now have the power to affect government decisions (Meier 1993; Rourke 198,4; Aberbach, Putnam, and Rockman 798 1). In this article, I rely on two competing theories of bureaucratic behavior-representative-bureaucracy theory...

• To manage is to govern AI翻译

  摘要：Governance structures constrain and enable the actions of public managers. Principal-agent theory has played a dominant role in our understanding of governance structures. This theory suggests that politicians create relatively static governance structures in a top-clown fashion and hold managers accountable for mandated results. In other words, public managers are influenced by governance structures but do not affect governance structures.. However, we argue that public managers do affect gov...
• Managing networks: Propositions on what managers do and why they do it AI翻译
  作者：McGuire, M
  作者单位：University of North Texas System; University of North Texas Denton
  摘要：Measuring management in networks is difficult because the allocation of managerial resources in network structures is fluid-that is, the utilization of management behaviors varies across time and space within a given program or project. As a means of focusing the network management research agenda, propositions based in contingency logic are suggested to test ideas regarding when, why, and how network managers undertake these behaviors. The propositions ore intended to identify the vast invent...
• Interlocal agreements as overlapping social networks: Picket-fence regionalism in metropolitan Kansas City AI翻译
  作者：Thurmaier, K; Wood, C
  作者单位：Iowa State University; University of Kansas
  摘要：Public policies addressing complex issues require transjurisdictional solutions, challenging hierarchical modes of public-service delivery. Interlocal agreements (ILAs) are long-established service-delivery instruments for local governments, and research suggests they are plentiful, with a majority of cities and counties involved in at least one ILA. Although ILAs are an established feature of local government operations, previous research is atheoretical, largely descriptive, and unsystematic...
