公共行政学的＂身份危机＂是对该学科在萌芽发展期状况的隐喻,但＂身份危机＂却长期存在,从而质疑理论研究的合法性以及实践结果对社会福利的效用。在公共行政学的研究中,政治-行政二分法困境是造成＂身份危机＂的内在因素,政治-行政二分所引发的长时间争论导致学科一致性认同的缺失,并造成公共行政实践对效率的推崇以及对民主的遗弃。在正统公共行政中,政治-行政二分是基础观点,效率是核心原则,官僚制是实现效率的良好行政模式。然而,官僚制行政却带来了公共行政前所未有的危机,但正统的公共行政囿于难以摆脱政治-行政二分困境而无法解决＂身份危机＂,公共行政学的未来将摒弃＂官僚行政＂,走向民主的公共行政。%"Identity Crisis" of public administration is a metaphor of the academic subject when it is in the period of ado- lescence. But the identity problem is a long standing issue for public administration, which questions the legality of theory research and effectiveness of practical consequence. The dilemma of politics-administration dichotomy is the primary cause for "identity crisis" in public administration. The controversy about politics-administration dichotomy resulted in the lack of consensus in the study of public administration, and preferred efficiency more than democracy in the practice of adminis- tration. Based on politics-administration dichotomy, the efficiency is the key principle for the orthodox public administra- tion, while the bureaucracy is the best institutional form of "good administration". However, the traditional administration paradigm causes a great crisis. The orthodox paradigm could not solve the "identity crisis", because it could not refuse the politics-administration dichotomy. The future of public administration should abandon the traditional "bureaucracy adminis- tration", and go to the democratic administration.
