Public Administration and the Critique of Domination

Abstract

Public administration is viewed here as facing a crisis of legitimacy which derives from (1) the field's association with societal tendencies toward regulation and control and (2) the failure ofpublic administration theory to adequately connect with adminis trative practice. In contrast, a critical approach to public administration is outlined, one which holds forth some promise of meaningful reflection and enlightened action in the public sector.
