Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report in Re the Organization and Administration of the State Government, Vol. 2: A Plan of Administrative Consolidation; April 15, 1921 Sound organization and a logical and workable distribution of functions and delegation of authority are admittedly prerequisites to effective administrative control. That the State of Maryland lacks these essentials and that they can be provided only through a reorganization of its administrative machinery, is the theme of this part of the discussion of state problems. The existing situation is described and a proposal for the consolidation of existing departments and other agencies into twelve major units is put forward. Summary Statement Of The Existing Organization Structure The following list, Table A, names the eighty-five agencies that make up the state organization. The organization, functions, methods, and problems of each of these units have been given careful consideration. In Table A the units are arranged in alphabetical order. The figures regarding the number of employes and the annual appropriation have been secured from the best sources available. They are included only as data of interest in indicating the relative sizes of the various units and not as a basis for any conclusions. The organization structure of each agency is graphically presented in the set of charts submitted herewith as Exhibit I.

Download or read book The Administrative State written by Dwight Waldo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought.The objectives of The Administrative State are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments.This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history.

Download or read book Revisiting Waldo s Administrative State written by David H. Rosenbloom and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-22 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing notion that the best government is achieved through principles of management and business practices is hardly new—it echoes the early twentieth-century "gospel of efficiency" challenged by Dwight Waldo in 1948 in his pathbreaking book, The Administrative State. Asking, "Efficiency for what?", Waldo warned that public administrative efficiency must be backed by a framework of consciously held democratic values. Revisiting Waldo's Administrative State brings together a group of distinguished authors who critically explore public administration's big ideas and issues and question whether contemporary efforts to "reinvent government," promote privatization, and develop new public management approaches constitute a coherent political theory capable of meeting the complex challenges of governing in a democracy. Taking Waldo's book as a starting point, the authors revisit and update his key concepts and consider their applicability for today. The book follows Waldo's conceptual structure, first probing the material and ideological background of modern public administration, problems of political philosophy, and finally particular challenges inherent in contemporary administrative reform. It concludes with a look ahead to "wicked" policy problems—such as terrorism, global warming, and ecological threats—whose scope is so global and complex that they will defy any existing administrative structures and values. Calling for a return to conscious consideration of democratic accountability, fairness, justice, and transparency in government, the book's conclusion assesses the future direction of public administrative thought. This book can stand alone as a commentary on reconciling democratic values and governance today or as a companion when reading Waldo's classic volume.

Download or read book State Management written by Jan-Erik Lane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State Management offers a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the new field of state management, presenting an analysis of basic questions within the theories of bureaucracy, policy-making, principal-agent modelling and policy networks. Focussing upon recent state transformation, it illuminates public sector reform strategies such as New Public Management as well as incorporation, tendering and bidding, decentralization, team production and privatization. This book argues that we should look upon the variety of models or approaches to public management or public administration as all belonging under "state management". The so-called "working state" in a well-ordered society involves government delivering services, paying for social security and respecting the rule of law. In this text, Jan-Erik Lane systematically examines the key approaches to the study of how government attempts to achieve these goals, discussing the pros and cons of alternative frameworks of analysis. Each chapter discusses a different issue within state management that is integral to the broader debate, including: Public regulation The relationship between the law and the state Combining ecology and policy making Multi-level governance The virtues and vices of public-private partnerships Policy implementation Presenting a clear overview of how the state operates when government sets out to deliver public services, and generating questions to encourage new research, State Management is a valuable new text for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in political science, public administration and public management.

This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Movement for the Reorganization of State Administration In order to adjust a form of government planned for the more primitive conditions of many years ago, so as to per form the multitudinous functions which have devolved upon state governments, it has been found necessary to establish numerous boards, bureaus, commissions, and commissioners. Owing to the fact that these boards and bureaus were cre ated one at a time, as occasion arose, and were constituted as independent agencies with specially designated powers, state administration has lacked in the necessary unity and correlation to secure economical and efficient public service. The organization of state administration contains today little evidence of unified design or systematic planning. It consists of a complicated mass of separate and disjointed authorities, operating with little reference to each other or to any central control.1 Lack of unity and of correlation in the arrangements for state administration has led to dis satisfaction and criticisms which have resulted in a signifi cant movement for the reform of state administration.

Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
Download or read book Reorganizing State Government written by James L Garnett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although state executive branch reorganization has been surrounded by controversy and expense for more than sixty years and has been occurring at an unprecedented rate during the last thirteen, much of our knowledge of it has been anecdotal, fragmentary, conceptually imprecise, and untested, asserts Dr. Garnett. His book contributes conceptual and empirical order to the study of reorganization by analyzing competing and complementary models, evaluating research methodologies, stating hypotheses, and testing those hypotheses with data drawn from more than 150 of the state reorganizations that have taken place in this century. Dr. Garnett addresses three basic questions: Why do state reorganizations occur? How are they conducted? What forms do the reorganized executive branches take? His specific action guidelines for governors and other state officials, agenda for further research, and extensive bibliography will be particularly useful.
