The great relevance of Max Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy for understanding modern public administration is insufficiently acknowledged. Critical examination of the claims made to support "new conventional wisdoms" in the study of public administration reveals a remarkable similarity in the arguments made against Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy. The currently fashionable public-values approaches replicate neoliberal arguments that downplay bureaucracy to conquer a place in the field. Such dogmatism leads to neglect of the ways in which modern Herrschaft (domination) affects individual freedom. This article clarifies how the relationship between Herrschaft and individual freedom is central to Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy and how this perspective is still useful to understand mo...

This paper is about ideas and views of professionals in the field of academic administrative leadership. It is concerned about general philosophical positions of faculty members and administrators concerning students' general education, information, intelligence, communication, and critical thinking abilities.

A proposal to give the New Jersey Legislature a role in shaping trade policies that affect the state economy is facing criticism that it would either do nothing or create needless bureaucracy. The Assembly approved the bill, the Jobs Trade and Democracy Act, last week, 61-12. It would require the Legislature to approve of any measure that would "bind" the state to a trade agreement, and would designate four legislative "liaisons" to work on trade with the governor's office and the federal government.
Professor Larry Terry never shied away from an intellectual battle. For Terry, one idea animated most of his scholarly work -- administrative leadership. His book, Leadership of Bureaucracies: The Administrator as Conservator, is now a classic in the field. In it, he took on the dominant theories of democracy, bureaucracy, management and leadership for overlooking the vital leadership roles that career public administrators must play in order to sustain a robust democratic republic. Undaunted, Terry conceived administrative leadership as a necessary component of the American governing system, one that flowed from the logic of the Constitution. Terry's model of the administrative conservator has been attacked on many fronts, some seeing it as a threat to any meaningful notion of democrac...
