Long-term care shift brings large savings State Medicaid program needs to emphasize home care, cut its bureaucracy. One of the prime examples of state government's creaky inefficiency is the cost of long-term care for the indigent elderly or disabled that is paid for by Medicaid. The state spent $2.5 billion on long-term care last year, including $1.6 billion for nursing home care. This was 13 percent of the state budget.
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...

Some (mostly) good news from government's environmental guardians Government officials often lament -- or complain -- that the media don't report the "good" news about agencies doing things right and love to wallow in bad news about government waste, foul-ups and excesses. So, it is with pleasure that we note some recent examples of the bureaucracy doing good things to protect our environment, despite a downside or two.
This article seeks to explain both who participates in military intervention decisions and how they participate. The article argues that participation is strongly conditioned by the primary characteristics of the intervention, along with the organization and institutions of U.S. government bureaucracy. These organizational and institutional influences exist within a larger framework of structured contingency, which also conditions participation, and contributes to an impression of capriciousness and unpredictability in the military intervention decision-making processes. Drawing on the decisions for four U.S. military interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean since WWII as examples, findings indicate that two primary characteristics (crisis vs. premeditated, secret vs. public kno...
As Iowa Republicans head to their caucus sites this evening, many have visions of Romney, Paul, Gingrich and Santorum dancing in their heads. The names Roemer, Karger, Miller and Snyder might not receive mention at the majority of caucus sites, but they remain candidates for the GOP nomination adhering to the smaller government, more individual freedom message spawned by spiraling national debt and federal regulation. Here is a look at the candidates largely ignored by the prime- time news networks and nationally syndicated pundits:

Many entrepreneurs are able to manage their businesses within relatively contained and familiar geographical and cultural circles. With a world economy shrinking every day amid a flood of digital information, today's entrepreneur is increasingly confronted with opportunities to consider new ways to secure vendors and recruit customers. Many unfamiliar possibilities emerge. Should the entrepreneur venture beyond "comfortable" surroundings to consider international connections? Specifically, what about China? How practical is this fetching business temptation of larger markets and lower-cost subcontractors? What are the social, trade, financial, and political issues? Should a "China strategy" be a true entrepreneurial offensive, or rather a defensive response to competition? Is this "Chin...

MOSCOW - Russia's flop at the Vancouver Winter Olympics followed widespread misspending by sports officials and a dysfunctional bureaucracy, government auditors said.

President Obama on Tuesday used the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to impose government controls over the Internet. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski's implementation of so-called "net neutrality" regulations offers a foretaste of the White House's shift to rule by unelected bureaucracy now that Republicans have regained control of the House of Representatives. For the first time ever, the FCC will regulate the way Internet companies are allowed to do business in the same way that the agency regulates 19th-century technologies such as the telephone. The red tape is being offered in the name of protecting Internet freedom and prohibiting companies from "unreasonable discrimination." The rhetoric sounds good, but there are no significant examples that such discrimination is taking ...
