Description
- Discuss the origins of the distinction between politics or policy and administration. How is it relevant today? Does it make any difference whether you use the word "politics" or the word "policy"? Does that change the debate?
- Also, discuss the concept of efficiency as a measure of success in public organizations. What other concepts might also be considered measures of success?
- Finally, let's look into a case study:
- Alberto Nunez is the city manager of a large city in the southwest. He feels very strongly that a new economic development initiative should be passed by the council, but he's worried about getting involved in policy formulation. At the same time, a council member has suggested that the appointment if a new police chief, which the charter says should be made by the city manager, should instead become a matter for a council debate. How should Alberto proceed?
