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.
Social equity
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]

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 spherefor instance, the influence of different U.S. senators on questions of foreign policy. Critics,
such as the social theorist Steven Lukes, argued that Dahls 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 (196667) 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.

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.

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]
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 Dahls 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
Demos or people must have the opportunity to decide what political matters actually are and what
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.

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
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 19131914 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 governmenta 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.

9/8/2014 Frank J. Goodnow -- Britannica School
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.
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.

(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.

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 (19381940). 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 (19332012) from 1963 until her death, which occurred shortly before his
own.
[5]
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 (195556) 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, 19631966), Publius: The Journal of Federalism
(19722005), Constitutional Political Economy (1989present), and International Journal of
Organization Theory and Behavior (19972006).
[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]
Awards
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.
