This course is to teach participants the primary principles in public administration. The course will start with an overview of public administration: the early voices and the first quarter century - ancient times to the 1920s; the New Deal to mid-century - 1930s to 1950s; from JFK to civil service reform - the 1960s and 1970s; from Reagan to reinvention - the 1980s and 1990s; and finally public administration in the twenty-first century. The course will then shift its focus more topically, covering contents that include: the discipline of public administration; public administration in context; bureaucracy; organization theory; human resources management; the budgetary process; public management; public policy and analysis; intergovernmental relations; and public service ethics.
