Statement of Commitment for New Public Administration Scholars

摘要

As we reflect on the state of public administration today, we feel that our strength is the diversity of disciplines, methods, theories, and approaches that we bring to public problems. However, we believe that the future of public administration is limited by the institutional and personal barriers that researchers and scholars confront in their work. We recognize these barriers as: 1. Institutional incentives for promotion and tenure 2. Curricular limitations (such as budgetary incentives to restrict interdisciplinary approaches).
