This article analyzes the U.S. federal administrative state. The complex of institutions of the executive branch of the federal government-in historical and contemporary perspectives, with implications for the future. It argues that the administrative state is in a serious legitimacy crisis, that this crisis can be understood in an historical context and in relations to the concurrent crises facing the socioeconomic and political systems in America. Major sources of the crisis, including the inherently contradictory role of the modern state in society, are analyzed. Also some of the major impacts of the crisis on the society are discussed along with an analysis of the future consequences of the politics-administration interface and the new political administration theory of the 1980s. Finally, an argument is made in defense of the administrative state and an Integrated Model of Public Administration is suggested for solving the problems of administrative state in America.

The intent of this research has been to develop an answer to the practical question of active citizenship in the administrative state. In political philosophy, the literature of direct democracy suggests that active citizens are people capable of learning to make decisive judgments in the public interest. But critics have held that the idea is unworkable: that modern governmental bureaucracies are too large and complex, interest group politics too entrenched, and human nature too self-interested for ordinary people to practice citizenship in an administrative framework. The project has two parts. First, the classic features of active citizenship have been recast in administrative terms, as citizens' exercise of purposeful discretion in the conduct of administrative affairs delegated to them by public administrators. It is argued that cooperative action by lay citizens and administrators-as-citizens within the framework of a public agency perspective can be seen as constituting a polis. Second, an example of existing interaction between lay citizens and administrators is examined: the Community Health Center Program in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is argued that this example, while neither capable of nor intended to support a general normative theory of public administration, illustrates that a true practice of active citizenship is possible within the administrative state. Features of the illustration are interpreted in light of this argument. ; Ph. D.
