Policy_And_Administration

Policy And Administration Policy and Administration Throughout American History political scientist have studied the effects of government on the governed. More precisely, urban reformers of the late 1800’s have specifically shown their interest in administration and policy implementation at the local level of government. While examining the governing processes of these localities, reformers kept in mind the necessity of maintaining a democratic rule. Therefore, the primary focus of these reformers was keeping politics separate from administration. This paper will examine the arguments in favor of local sovereignty as well as those opposed from the past century into modern times focusing in on the policy-administration dichotomy. When examining the arguments in defense of local sovereignty and those opposed it is important to also take a look at some of the empirical data in support the arguments. Early municipal reformers concentrated on removing politics from administration through limiting the power of political parties and even their elected officials while in the years to come there will be several changes made to municipalities, administration of the municipalities, and policy implementation with-in the municipalities.
