What We Seem to Forget in Modern Public Administration

Abstract

Modern Public Administration seems to have lost insights that are crucial for the discipline. This is a result of the dominance of the Anglo-Saxon, or perhaps more accurately American, model of Public Administration, with its emphasis on management and economics. The attention given to law and politics has correspondingly diminished. These phenomena are now typically considered as factors external to the subject matter. No longer is the democratic Rechtsstaat considered as a crucial object of study for current Public Administration research or for the way the field developed. Public Administration has become a technical discipline, all but abstaining from values other than those of effectiveness and efficiency that now govern public affairs.
