Традиционные теории «государства» в теории государственного управления сосредотачиваются в большей степени на правительственном аппарате. Тем не менее в течение последних 40 лет несколько тенденций, таких как подъем неолиберализма, упразднение коммунистических режимов и глобальный экономический кризис 2008 года, заставили переосмыслить идею государства и бросить вызов современной теории государственного управления. В статье автор описывает и исследует, как подъем неолиберализма и падение коммунизма создали кризис в теории государственного управления через переосмысление границ между традиционными правительственными и неправительственными организациями. Кроме того, в статье проведена оценка степени влияния глобализации и экономического кризиса 2008 на теорию и практику государственного управления. Автор приходит к выводу, что современная теория государственного управления нуждается в новой теории государства, которая способна отразить изменения политическо-экономического порядка, возникшие после экономического кризиса 2008 года. ; Traditional theories of the "state" in public administration theory focus on the governmental apparatus. However, over the last 40 years several forces, such as the rise of neo-liberalism, the dismantling of communist regimes, and the global economic crisis of 2008 have forced a redefinition of the state and challenge contemporary public administration theory. This paper does two things. First, it describes and examines how the rise of neo-liberalism and the fall of communism have produced a crisis in public administration theory through a redefinition of the boundaries between traditional governmental and non-governmental activities. Second, the paper will examine what impact globalization and the economic crisis of 2008 has had on public administration theory and practice. The conclusion will be that contemporary public administration theory is in need of a new theory of the state to reflect the changing political economic order that emerged after the economic crisis of 2008.

State and local governments are often trumpeted as laboratories of democracy, capable of significant policy innovation and expertise. Yet the reality is that states more often than not repeatedly reenact failed policies that past research shows do not work. American Politics in the Age of Ignorance contends that policy making is shrouded in many myths and that policy makers often ignore ample research and evidence when it comes to legislating on a range of issues. Examining such hot button issues as restricting immigration and welfare migration, seeking to lure businesses with tax breaks, and providing public subsidies for sports stadiums, this book catalogs a list of repeatedly enacted failed policies that public officials advocate, offering a critical and skeptical analysis of the policy process.

American Politics in the Age of Ignoranc e looks at ten policy myths and bad ideas that governments and public officials - most often conservatives - consistently repeat and re-enact. Acting on these myths, the policies inevitably fail and thereby reinforce preconceived beliefs that government is ineffective at solving problems.
