THROUGHOUT MOST OF THIS CENTURY, PRACTITIONERS AND STUDENTS OF URBAN POLITICS HAVE DEBATED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS WHICH FALL UNDER THE LABEL OF MUNICIPAL REFORMISM. MORE RECENTLY, IN THE WAKE OF URBAN FISCAL RETRENCHMENT, INDUSTRIAL RELOCATION, AND SUNBELT-FROSTBELT COMPETITION, DEBATE AMONG ACADEMICS AND POLITICAL PRACTITIONERS HAS OFTEN FOCUSED UPON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF VARIOUS KINDS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES EMPLOYED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THIS ARTICLE REPRESENTS AN ATTEMPT TO ILLUMINATE DISCUSSION OF THE MORE RECENT CONTROVERSY OVER DEVELOPMENT POLICY THROUGH THE USE OF ARGUMENTS DRAWN FROM THE OLD MUNICIPAL REFORM DEBATE. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS PAPER CONTENDS THAT THE EXTENT TO WHICH A CITY ENACTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND ITS CHOICE AMONG DIFFERENT POLICIES MAY DEPEND, IN PART, UPON THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF PARTICULAR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS AFFECTING REPRESENTATION AND EXECUTIVE POWER.

While various social science disciplines have dominated the recent spate of scholarly work in institutionalism, the study of institutions itself is not new in public administration. The study of public organizations and institutions has highlighted legal structure and cognitive design as well as culture and norms in understanding organizational behavior, which has contributed to a bifurcated view of institutions as either formal or informal. New institutionalism highlights that while regulative formal institutions can serve as lamp posts to political, social and economic behavior, normative informal institutions can oftentimes encompass a wider institutional field beyond political jurisdictions. This paper looks at the evolution of institutionalism from a public administration perspective and provides an overview of how new institutionalism can be the lens to comprehend the fundamental issues of governance and development.

Abstract: Doctrines of public administration are in ferment. Proponents of the newer public management challenge defenders of the traditional public service. Academic commentators frequently oppose both the newer managerialism and the traditional apolitical professionalism. The net effect is to distort the call for better public management. One useful step out of the mess is backwards—toward a recovery of the fundamentals of democratic political theory, of that original sense of the governing partnership between public servant and politician. In the 1950s, Fritz Morstein Marx called it resourceful public administration. By reviving this older sense of public resources, we tap a fundamental but frequently ignored vein of public administration theory. Through "the other Marx" we rediscover his mentor, John Stuart Mill, from whom we still have much to learn about our greatest administrative resource—our people, both politicians and public servants. Both Marx and Mill give us salutary examples on how to ask the basic questions of principle, which we tend to bypass in our pursuit of pragmatic arrangements.

A large number of factors have an impact on leadership effectiveness. One of the most commonly cited is the leadership potential of the leaders themselves. Leaders as individuals are defined in this manner by their inherited qualities and the personality-trait development they have either received or actually achieved themselves. Furthermore leadership (the conduct of leaders) is closely connected to leaders' motivation, values and work ethic, and the power and authority that leaders acquire or build. To determine the extent to which leadership effectiveness is related to personality-trait based leadership potential, the paper presents a proposed model of effective leadership in the public sector, which covers the formation of personal leadership potential and identifying leadership effectiveness. The paper presents a trial application of the model in Slovenia, which offers a realistic representation of leadership potential and leadership effectiveness, which are at a relatively low level due to past neglect of this field in Slovenian central government units.

The political context of public administration in the United States may change considerably in the near future, away from liberal democracy and toward an intensification of the authoritarian populism familiar from the Trump era. The people and practices of public administration experience the effects of the societal context in their daily work and the course of their careers, so that "context matters." This essay uses the description of the current context of the public sector at the federal, state, and local levels, and in academia, to examine the potential impacts of a contextual shift to authoritarian populism in the next several years. The examination includes daily practice, the teaching of controversial concepts in public universities, and conducting research on salient topics in public administration.
