Public Admin Theory

 Public administration theory is the amalgamation of history, organizational theory, social theory, political theory and related studies
 focused on the meanings, structures and functions of public service in all its forms.
A standard course of study in PhD programs dedicated to public administration, public administration theory often recounts major historical
 foundations for the study of bureaucracy as well as epistemological issues associated with public service as a profession and as an academic field.
Important figures of study include: Max Weber, Frederick Taylor, Luther Gulick, Mary Parker Follett, Chester Barnard, Herbert Simon, and
Dwight Waldo. In more recent times, the field has had three main branches: new public management, classic public administration and postmodern
 public administration theory. The last grouping is often viewed as manifest in the Public Administration Theory Network (PAT-NET) and its
 publication, Administrative Theory & Praxis.

[edit]United States

Main article: Executive (government)
In United States usage, the term refers to the executive branch under a specific president (or governor, mayor, or other local executive), for example: the "Barack Obama administration." It can also mean an executive branch agency headed by an administrator: these agencies tend to have a regulatory function as well as an administrative function. On occasion, people in the US will use the term to refer to the time a given person was president, e.g. "they have been married since the Jimmy Carter administration."

[edit]Europe

Usage in Europe varies by country, but most typically the term 'administration' refers to managerial functions in general, which may include local governments, or the hierarchy of national and local government, that applies to a town or district. More specifically, it may refer to public administration, the business of administering public policy as determined by government. However, outside France, this usage of the word is uncommon.
For the US sense of the word, most countries (be they English-speaking or not) use the term government instead, as in the "Tony Blair government". This is also true of the non-European members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Depending on the type of government, the word coalition may be used for a specific government. In the Netherlands, cabinet is the most used term (as in the fourth Balkenende cabinet), although 'coalition' or 'government' are also used when one does not refer to a specific coalition (note that the two terms have slightly different meanings).

American Political Science Association headquarters located in the Dupont Circleneighborhood of Washington, D.C.
The American Political Science Association (APSA) is a professional associationof political science students and scholars in the United States. Founded in 1903, it publishes three academic journals (American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and PS: Political Science & Politics). APSA Organized Sections publish or are associated with 15 additional journals.
APSA presidents serve one-year terms: the current president is Carole Pateman ofUniversity of California, Los Angeles. Woodrow Wilson, who later became president of the United States, was APSA president in 1911. APSA has its headquarters at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., in a historic building that was the home of Harry Garfield, son of President James Garfield and president of the association from 1921 to 1922.
APSA administers the Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs, which provides conference and research space for scholars, and Pi Sigma Alpha, thehonor society for political science students. APSA also periodically sponsorsseminars and other events for political scientists, policymakers, the media, and the general public.
To recognize excellence in the profession, the Association offers annual awards for:
  • Dissertation Awards
  • Paper and Article Awards
  • Book Awards
  • Career Awards
  • Goodnow Award
  • Teaching Award and Campus Teaching Award Recognition
In addition to the APSA awards, the APSA organized sections also present over 100 awards at every Annual Meeting to recognize important research and contributions to the profession. These awards are presented at the Association's Annual Meeting. More on Award Descriptions and Nomination Information
A key part of APSA's mission is to enable political scientists to connect an environment conducive to teaching, research, and practice in all fields of political science and to ensure support necessary for the discipline to thrive. APSA conducts several annual conferences, which provides this environment for scholars and other professionals to network and present their work, along with other pertinent and useful resources. The APSA Annual Meeting is among the world's largest gatherings of political scientists. It occurs on Labor Day weekend each summer. The 2007 meeting in Chicago drew 6,900 participants. The 2008 annual meeting was in Boston and the 2009 meeting was in Toronto (September 3-6). The 2010 meeting was in Washington, DC on September 2-5, 2010. The 2011 Annual Meeting is in Seattle, Washington.
The APSA Teaching and Learning Conference is a smaller working group conference hosting cutting-edge approaches, techniques, and methodologies for the political science classroom. The conference provides a forum for scholars to share effective and innovative teaching and learning models and to discuss broad themes and values of political science education--especially the scholarship of teaching and learning.
With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, APSA Africa Workshops APSA has organized political science workshops in various locations in Africa. The first workshop was convened in Dakar, Senegal in partnership with the West African Research Center from July 6-27, 2008. The second workshop was convened in Accra, Ghana in partnership with the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana, Legon from June 21-July 10. The 2010 APSA residential workshop on Global Perspectives on Politics and Gender will be held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The annual residential workshops are led by a joint U.S. and African organizing team and aimed at mid-and junior-level scholars residing in Africa. They will enhance the capacities of political scientists and their resources in East and West Africa while also providing a forum for supporting their ongoing research. Each three week workshop brings together up to 30 scholars and cover substantive issues, methodologies, and reviews of research.
