H. George Frederickson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

H. George Frederickson is a generalist in the field of public administration with particular interests in public administration ethics, theories of public administration, systems of multi-level governance, and American local government.[1] He currently serves as the Edwin O. Stene Distinguished Professor of Public Administration at the University of Kansas.[2] He was President Emeritus of Eastern Washington University until 1987 (http://www.ewu.edu/about/history-of-ewu.xml) and served as President of the American Society for Public Administration] (ASPA).[3] Frederickson is the founding editor of the Journal of Public Affairs Education (JPAE) and founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART).

Major influences on public administration

Minnowbrook II

Frederickson is responsible for coordinating the second Minnowbrook Conference, Minnowbrook II, held in 1988. The conference was held at Syracuse University's conference center in the

Adirondack Mountains. Lasting a total of four days, Minnowbrook II gave Frederickson and his colleagues the chance to reexamine the impacts of Minnowbrook I on the field of Public

Administration.

(5)

In 1968 Frederickson came up with "a theory of social equity and put it forward as the "third pillar" of public administration."[4] Frederickson was concerned that those in public administration were making the mistake of assuming that citizen A is the same as citizen B; ignoring social and economic conditions. His goal is: for social equity to take on the same "status as economy and efficiency as values or principles to which public administration should adhere."[4]

Moral justification for bureaucracy

In 2002 Frederickson published an article for Administration & Society, titled, Confucius and the

Moral Basis of Bureaucracy. In this article Frederickson describes the need for a "moral basis of

bureaucracy" in the West. He argues, "the moral justification for bureaucracy in systems of democratic self-government is stronger in Eastern thought than in Western philosophy and practice."[5] In this article, Frederickson describes the several "central features" of

Confucianism.[5] He then compares them to Western approaches to bureaucracy; providing "contemporary examples."[5] These central features are: "(1) the rule of man versus the rule of law, (2) the characteristics of the good official, (3) the nature of moral conventions and their importance to governing, (4) the importance of education and merit, (5) how to serve those in power, (6) the nature and order of society, and (7) the definitions of virtue and morality."[5]

High reliability organizations

In the article, Airport Security, High Reliability, and the Problem of Rationality, Frederickson "applies the concepts and logic of high reliability organizations to airport security operations".[6] Frederickson examines both the internal and external properties of High-Reliability Organizations (HRO). He argues, after September 11, 2001, the American commercial air travel industry needs to be operated as a HRO in order to prevent future catastrophes. "For commercial air travel to be highly secure, there must be very high levels of technical competence and sustained performance, regular training, structure redundancy, collegial, decentralized authority patterns, processes that reward error discovery and correction, adequate and reliable funding, high mission valence, reliable and timely information, and protection from external interference in operations."[6]

B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1959.

M.P.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1961. Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 1967.

9/8/2014 Robert A. Dahl -- Britannica School

Sociology.

In The Concept of Power (1957), his first major contribution to the field of political science, Dahl developed an operational definition of power that was frequently cited as an important (though incomplete) insight into the phenomenon. According to Dahl, “A has power over B to the extent that he can get B to do something that B would not otherwise do.” Dahl gave as an example a professor threatening a student with a failing grade if he did not read a certain book during the holidays. In this case, the amount of power held by the professor can be conceived as the difference between the probability that the student would read the book before receiving the threat and the probability that he would read it after receiving the threat. Dahl argued that his definition could be used to compare the power of political actors in a given sphere—for instance, the influence of different U.S. senators on questions of foreign policy. Critics, such as the social theorist Steven Lukes, argued that Dahl’s definition failed to capture other important dimensions of power, such as the capacity of an actor to shape the norms and values held by others. In his best-known work, “Who Governs?: Democracy and Power in an American City” (1961), a study of power dynamics in New Haven, Connecticut, Dahl argued that political power in the United States is pluralistic. He thus rebutted power-elite theorists such as C. Wright Mills and Floyd Hunter, who had described the United States as a country ruled by a small group of interconnected individuals occupying key positions of power. In his study, Dahl found that while power was distributed unequally in New Haven, it was also dispersed among a number of groups in competition with each other, rather than monopolized by a single elite group.

Dahl introduced the term polyarchy to characterize American politics and other political systems that are open, inclusive, and competitive (“Polyarchy”, 1971). The concept allowed him to make a distinction between an ideal system of democracy and institutional arrangements that approximate this ideal. Thus, polyarchies are based on the principle of representative rather than direct democracy and therefore constitute a form of minority rule, yet they are also (imperfectly) democratized systems that limit the power of elite groups through institutions such as regular and free elections.

Despite his critique of elite-power theory, Dahl was faulted after the publication of “Who Governs?” for underestimating the importance of broad-based civic participation. Indeed, in “Who Governs?” Dahl had argued that democracy does not require mass participation and in fact rests on the consent of a

relatively apathetic population. Later, in “Democracy and Its Critics” (1989), he recognized the value of an active citizenry and associated polyarchy with political rights such as freedom of expression and

association.

Dahl was the author of scores of important papers and several books. The latter include, in addition to those mentioned above, A Preface to Democratic Theory (1956); “After the Revolution?: Authority in a Good Society” (1970); “Size and Democracy” (1973), coauthored with Edward R. Tufte; “A Preface to Economic Democracy” (1985); “On Democracy” (1998); and “How Democratic Is the American Constitution?” (2001). He served as president of the American Political Science Association (1966–67) and was a member of numerous research organizations and learned societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the British Academy.

Education Yale University

Occupation Political scientist, professor

Robert A. Dahl

Robert Alan Dahl (December 17, 1915 – February 5, 2014) was the Sterling Professor emeritus of political science at Yale University, where he earned his Ph.D. in political science in 1940. He was past president of the American Political Science Association. Dahl was sometimes described as "the dean of American

political scientists".[1] His research focused on the nature of democracy in actual institutions, such as American cities. His influential early books included

A Preface to Democratic Theory (1956), Who

governs?: Democracy and power in an American city

(1961) and Pluralist Democracy in the United States

(1967) all presented pluralistic explanations of who rules in America, arguing that many competing groups shared power. He died in 2014, aged 98.[2][3]

Writings

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was involved in an academic disagreement with C. Wright Mills over the nature of politics in the United States. Mills held that America's governments are in the grasp of a unitary and demographically narrow power elite. Dahl responded that there are many different elites involved, who have to work both in contention and in compromise with one another. If this is not

democracy in a populist sense, Dahl contended, it is at least polyarchy (or pluralism). In perhaps his best known work, Who Governs? (1961), he examines the power structures (both formal and informal) in the city of New Haven, Connecticut, as a case study, and finds that it supports this view.[4]

From the late 1960s onwards, his conclusions were challenged by scholars such as G. William Domhoff and Charles E. Lindblom (a friend and colleague of Dahl).[5][6]

(13)

In How Democratic Is the American Constitution? (2001) Dahl argued that the constitution is much less democratic than it ought to be given that its authors were operating from a position of "profound

ignorance" about the future. However, he adds that there is little or nothing that can be done about this "short of some constitutional breakdown, which I neither foresee nor, certainly, wish for." [7]

Influence terms

One of Robert Dahl’s many contributions is his explication of the varieties of power, which he defines as “A” getting “B” to do what “A” wants. Dahl prefers the more neutral “influence terms,” (Michael G. Roskin) which he arrayed on a scale from best to worst:

1. Rational Persuasion, the nicest form of influence, means telling the truth and explaining why someone should do something, like your doctor convincing you to stop smoking.

2. Manipulative persuasion, a notch lower, means lying or misleading to get someone to do something.

3. Inducement still lower, means offering rewards or punishments to get someone to do something, i.e. like bribery.

4. Power threatens severe punishment, such as jail or loss of job. 5. Coercion is power with no way out; you have to do it.

6. Physical force – is backing up coercion with use or threat of bodily harm.

Thus, we can tell which governments are best; the ones that use influence at the higher end of the scale. The worst use the unpleasant forms of influence at the lower end.

Democracy and polyarchies

See also main article on polyarchy

In his book, Democracy and Its Critics (1989), Dahl clarifies his view about democracy. No modern country meets the ideal of democracy, which is as a theoretical utopia. To reach the ideal requires meeting five criteria:[8]

1. Effective participation

Citizens must have adequate and equal opportunities to form their preference and place questions on the public agenda and express reasons for one outcome over the other.

2. Voting equality at the decisive stage

Each citizen must be assured his or her judgments will be counted as equal in weights to the judgments of others.

3. Enlightened understanding

Citizens must enjoy ample and equal opportunities for discovering and affirming what choice would best serve their interests.

4. Control of the agenda

(14)

should be brought up for deliberation. 5. Inclusiveness

Equality must extend to all citizens within the state. Everyone has legitimate stake within the political process.

Instead, he calls politically advanced countries "polyarchies". Polyarchies have elected officials, free and fair elections, inclusive suffrage, rights to run for office, freedom of expression, alternative information and associational autonomy. Those institutions are a major advance in that they create multiple centers of political power.[9]

Prizes

Dahl was awarded the Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science in 1995.[3]

Criticism

Sociologist G. William Domhoff strongly disagrees with Dahl's view of power in New Haven, CT in the 1960s: "Who Really Ruled in Dahl's New Haven?"

(http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/new_haven.html)

Political philosopher Charles Blattberg has criticized Dahl's attempt to define democracy with a set of necessary and sufficient conditions.

Frank Johnson Goodnow

Frank Johnson Goodnow, Ph.D., LL.B. (January 18, 1859 – November 15, 1939) was an American

educator and legal scholar, born in Brooklyn, New York.

Personal life

He married Elizabeth Buchanan (Lyall) in 1886 and had 3 children: Isabel C. (Mrs. E. Kendall Gillett), David F. and Lois R. (Mrs. John V. A. MacMurray).

Education

After private schooling he graduated from Amherst College (A.B.) in 1879 and from Columbia Law School (LL.B.) in 1882. At Columbia, in addition to such subjects essential for admission to the Bar, he took courses in public law and jurisprudence offered in the recently organized School of Political Science. Late in 1882 he was offered a position in the School

of Political Science on the condition that he prepare himself with a year of study abroad. He studied at the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques in Paris and at the University of Berlin.

Career

Goodnow took up his teaching in October 1884 at Columbia, giving some instruction in History as well as in United States Administrative Law.

Made Adjunct Professor in 1887, Goodnow became Professor of Administrative Law in 1891, and in 1903 Eaton Professor of Administrative Law and Municipal Science. He became the first president of the American Political Science Association in 1903. Governor Theodore Roosevelt made him a member

(19)

of the commission to draft a new charter for Greater New York, and President Taft chose him as a member of his Commission on Economy and Efficiency.

In October 1912 he accepted, on the recommendation of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the commission of constitutional adviser to the Chinese Government which took him to China in March 1913. During the years 1913–1914 he served as legal adviser to the Yuan Shikai government in China. Yuan had hired Goodnow at the recommendation of Charles Eliot, a former president of Harvard

University, and had tasked him with drafting a new constitution. Between 1913 and 1915, Goodnow wrote two versions of the constitution. The first effectively made Yuan president for life, and granted him sweeping powers over the budget and foreign policy. The second version, completed in 1915, would have made Yuan emperor had he not died soon thereafter.[1][2] Goodnow became known for his assertion that the Chinese people were not mature enough for a democratic form of government—a position that was later utilized by Yuan, as he attempted to proclaim himself the Emperor of China in 1915-6.

In 1914 he became the third president of Johns Hopkins University. At Hopkins, he is best remembered for his attempt to eliminate the bachelor's degree by cutting the first two years of undergraduate work. He is considered an important early scholar in the field of public administration and administrative law, as well as an expert in government. Goodnow argued for the centrality of law in public administration. (Other public administration theorists have argued that other non-legal values ought to guide civil servants.)[3]

Goodnow resigned the Johns Hopkins University Presidency in 1929, but thereafter frequently gave graduate lectures in his special subjects. He was for some time a regent of the University of Maryland and a member of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore.

Modern Day Award

The Frank J. Goodnow Award for Distinguished Service was established in 1996 to recognize

individuals who have made outstanding contributions to both the development of the political science profession and the building of the American Political Science Association.

international studies and legal research were developed.

As a scholar, Goodnow stressed the study of the governmental mechanism; earlier political science had been limited largely to examining constitutional features. In his most noted work, Politics and

Administration (1900), he showed how the popular will is articulated from administration, in which expertise and hierarchy work to fulfill that will. The book influenced U.S. public administration for a half century and contributed to bureaucratic reform.

Other works by Goodnow include Comparative Administrative Law (1893), Municipal Home Rule: A Study in Administration (1895), Social Reform and the Constitution (1911), The American Conception of Liberty and Government (1916), and China: An Analysis (1926).

Charles E. Lindblom

Charles Edward Lindblom (born March 21, 1917[1] ) is a Sterling Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Economics at Yale University. He is a former president of the American Political Science Association and the Association for Comparative Economic Studies and also a former director of Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies.

Academic work

Lindblom is one of the early developers and advocates of the theory of Incrementalism in policy and decision-making. This view (also called Gradualism) takes a "baby-steps", "Muddling Through" or "Echternach Theory" approach to decision-making processes. In it, policy change is, under most circumstances, evolutionary rather than revolutionary. He came to this view through his extensive studies of Welfare policies and Trade Unions throughout the industrialized world. These views are set out in two articles, separated by 20 years: "The Science Of 'Muddling Through'" (1959) and “Still Muddling, Not yet through” (1979), both published in Public Administration Review.

Together with his friend, colleague and fellow Yale professor Robert A. Dahl, Lindblom was a

champion of the Polyarchy (or Pluralistic) view of political elites and governance in the late 1950s and early 1960s. According to this view, no single, monolithic elite controls government and society, but rather a series of specialized elites compete and bargain with one another for control. It is this peaceful competition and compromise between elites in politics and the marketplace that drives free-market democracy and allows it to thrive.

However, Lindblom soon began to see the shortcomings of Polyarchy with regards to democratic governance. When certain groups of elites gain crucial advantages, become too successful and begin to collude with one another instead of compete, Polyarchy can easily turn into Corporatism.

In his best known work, Politics And Markets (1977), Lindblom notes the "Privileged position of business in Polyarchy". He also introduces the concept of "circularity", or "controlled volitions" where "even in the democracies, masses are persuaded to ask from elites only what elites wish to give them." Thus any real choices and competition are limited. Worse still, any development of alternative choices or even any serious discussion and consideration of them is effectively discouraged.

(23)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Lindblom 2/3

An example of this is the political party system in the United States, which is almost completely

dominated by two powerful parties that often reduce complex issues and decisions down to two simple choices. Related to this is the concurrent concentration of the U.S. mass communications media into an Oligopoly, which effectively controls who gets to participate in the national dialogue and who suffers a censorship of silence.

Politics And Markets provoked a wide range of critical reactions that extended beyond the realms of

academia. The Mobil Corporation took out a full page ad in the New York Times to denounce it.[2] This helped the book achieve greater notoriety, which in turn helped it get onto the New York Times' Best Seller list (a rarity for a scholarly work). Due to his criticism of democratic capitalism and polyarchy, and also for his seeming praise for the political-economy of Tito's Yugoslavia, Lindblom was (perhaps predictably) labeled a "Closet Communist" and a "Creeping Socialist" by conservative critics in the west. Ironically, Marxist and Communist critics chided him for not going far enough. Originally, Dahl, too, disagreed with many of Lindblom's observations and conclusions; but in a recent work How

Democratic Is the American Constitution? he also has become critical of polyarchy in general and its

U.S. form in particular.

In The Market System: What It Is, How It Works, and What to Make of It (2001), Lindblom eloquently echoed and expanded upon many of his concerns raised in Politics And Markets. The most important of these is that while the Market System is the best mechanism yet devised for creating and fostering

wealth and innovation, it is not very efficient at assigning non-economic values and distributing social or economic justice.

Vincent Ostrom

Vincent A. Ostrom (September 25, 1919 – June 29, 2012) an American political economist and the Founding Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis

(http://www.indiana.edu/~workshop/), based at Indiana University and the Arthur F. Bentley

Professor Emeritus of Political Science.[2] He and his wife, the economist Elinor Ostrom, made numerous contributions to the field of political science.

The Ostroms made particular study of fragmentation theory, rational choice theory, federalism, common-pool resources and polycentrism in government, basing much of his research on the work of early 20th century political economists Frank Knight, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek.[3] The Journal of

Economic Behavior and Organization

(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505559/description#description) published a special issue, "Polycentric Political Economy: A Festschrift for Elinor and Vincent Ostrom", as the proceedings of a 2003 conference held in their honor, at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.[4]

Education and personal life

Vincent A. Ostrom graduated from Mount Baker High School (http://www.mtbaker.wednet.edu/mbhs) in Deming, Washington (1937), and attended Los Angeles City College (1938–1940). He received a B.A. in political science (1942) and a M.A (1945) from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his Ph.D from UCLA in political science in 1950. He was married to political scientist Elinor Ostrom (1933–2012) from 1963 until her death, which occurred shortly before his own.[5]

(26)

Career

Ostrom came to Indiana University in 1964 as a Professor of Political Science and co-founded the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis (http://www.indiana.edu/~workshop/) with his wife and colleague, Elinor Ostrom. The Workshop is committed to the collaborative engagement of faculty, students, and scholars, with a mission of advancing "the interdisciplinary study of institutions,

incentives, and behavior as they relate to policy-relevant applications."[6] Research focuses on

polycentrism, common-pool resources, and the roles of self-governance and collective action.[3] Earlier in his career, Ostrom had held faculty positions at the University of Wyoming, the University of Oregon, and UCLA. He was a key consultant to the Alaska Constitutional Convention (1955–56) in the drafting of the Natural Resource Article (http://ltgov.alaska.gov/services/constitution.php?section=8) of the Constitution of Alaska, which mandated that the state's resources were to be a public trust.[7]

Ostrom served on the editorial board for journals such as American Political Science Review (1957– 1960), Public Administration Review (Editor-in-Chief, 1963–1966), Publius: The Journal of Federalism (1972–2005), Constitutional Political Economy (1989–present), and International Journal of

Organization Theory and Behavior (1997–2006).[8]

Research

Ostrom's work can be summarized as seeking to understand the decision-making process of individuals and the balance between group and individual interests. This study involves attention to what drives human behavior (altruism or self-interest), the effect of institutions and rules on individual and group behavior, and how institutions transform and are transformed by individuals.[9]

Ostrom co-developed (with Charles Tiebout and Robert Warren) and refined the concept of

polycentricity in public administration – or multiple, formally independent decision-making centers within a system of government.[10] He proposed that quasi-market conditions (i.e. competition) between decision centers would increase flexibility and responsiveness. In contrast to hierarchical frameworks, polycentrism removes government from the focal point of ultimate knowledge and authority.[11]

Ostrom was recognized for advancing rational choice theory and democratic administration not only as a means for understanding bureaucratic behavior and the provision of public services, but as a distinct theory of public administration.[12] Rational choice theory of administration, Ostrom argued, provides a balance and foundation for public administration based on the democratic principles of the U.S.

Constitution. In his 1973 book, The Intellectual Crisis in Public Administration,[13] Ostrom outlines his observation of a breaking down of the intellectual foundation of public administration as formulated by Woodrow Wilson,[14] concisely, the concentration of power centers in government and the separation of the will of the state (policy) from administration. He noted increases in citizen involvement in decision processes and the broad diffusion of power. A democratic administration has a more heterogeneous, "bottom, up" character in contrast with ordered, trickle-down hierarchies. Ostrom considered the hierarchical order, accountable to a single center of power, less capable of serving the diverse needs among citizens and coping with diverse conditions, and less cost efficient than a polycentric

administration. Fragmentation of authority among decision centers within a jurisdiction and the overlapping of jurisdictional authority are key to advancing human welfare and a stable political order.[15][16]

(27)

Ostrom was honored for his excellence and contributions to the field of public policy:

1991 – The Daniel Elazar Distinguished Scholar Award from the American Political Science Association for his lifetime of contributions to the study of federalism and intergovernmental relations.

1999 – The Martha Derthick Best Book Award from the American Political Science Association, which is awarded for books published at least ten years prior with lasting contributions to the study of federalism and intergovernmental relations. Note: See Publications.

2003 – The Robert O. Anderson Sustainable Arctic Award from the Institute of the North (http://www.institutenorth.org) for his contributions in drafting the Natural Resource Article (http://ltgov.alaska.gov/services/constitution.php?section=8) of the Alaskan Constitution (http://ltgov.alaska.gov/services/constitution.php).

2003 – The Lifetime Achievement Award from the Atlas Economic Research Foundation for his contributions to the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis

(http://www.indiana.edu/~workshop/) (co-recipient with Elinor Ostrom).

2005 – The John Gaus Distinguished Lecturer Award from the American Political Science Association for his lifetime of exemplary scholarship in political science and public

administration.

2010 – Co-recipient (with Elinor Ostrom) of The University Medal (2010), Indiana University.
