Not Your Father’s Public Administration

Abstract

Globalization, devolution, outsourcing, multi-sector partnerships and networks, and a host of other social transformations are creating new challenges for schools of public administration and policy. These changes in the field demand greater focus on the inter-sectoral delivery of public goods and services, on globalization, and on the leadership of networks, but the core curricula in graduate public administration and policy programs have not yet changed enough to meet those demands. Until the curricula in these programs reflect the new realities of public management and the challenge of public accountability, graduates of these programs may not be fully able to meet the challenges facing today’s public leaders.
