The Politics-Administration Dichotomy: Toward a Constitutional Perspective, Second Edition

There is a long standing belief that there is a dichotomy between politics and administration in governance. Trends in administration suggest that there is an increasing demand and value placed on incorporating more political science into administrative work and that this is a false dichotomy. This book analyzes the dichotomy position in terms of concept, purpose, and relevance. The author argues that the dichotomy has merit in governance from a constitutional perspective but supports the emerging position in academia of political theory and administration as complementary.
