Introduction: The main goal of this course is to provide students with an appreciation of the study and practice of public administration or what Woodrow Wilson called “government in action”, some have called “the people’s business”, and others have termed “public management”. Appreciation is a key term in the goal of this course in both of its senses: an “understanding” or an “improvement” (value added) of something. In particular this course will focus on: • The History and Ideology of Modern American Public Administration. • The Policy and Institutional Environment of American Public Administration Administration: The instructor can be contacted at gleasong@unm.edu or at 277-5447.
