The Study Of Public Administration History Paperback Book Dwight Waldo 1955

The aim of this publication is the understanding and appreciation of the study of public administration. 

It is an essay about public administration, not a treatise in public administration. 

Thus its perspective is broader, more general, than that of a textbook of public administration.

Put another way, this is an introduction to the textbooks and the other literature of public administration. 

The author hopes to convey a sense of the importance of public administration both as a human activity and an intellectual discipline; and beyond that, to introduce some important concepts and controversies involved in its study; and still beyond that, to give a view of some present frontiers of human knowledge.

Such questions as these are dealt with: 
  • What is public administration? 
  • Who should study it, and why? 
  • Where did it come from? 
  • What are the basic categories of the study or discipline? 
  • What are the interrelations of public administration as an activity or process with other activities and processes? 
  • What are the interrelations of public administration as a study or discipline with other studies and disciplines? 
  • What are contemporary trends?
