公共行政自從Woodrow Wilson以降,已有一百一十多年的歷史,無論在理論與實
務皆有豐腴之發展。正當學術界面臨修正主義挑戰時,公共行政自亦不例外,如新公共管理
(New Public Management, NPM)、新公共行政(New Public Administration)等議題不斷出
現。公共行政的領域萎縮了嗎?亦或公共行政的典範遺失了(paradigm lost)嗎?筆者欲探
索這樣的命題,從Herbert Simon的邏輯實證論以及Dwight Waldo的人文主義為出發點,釐
清民主行政理念,最後筆者提出在公共行政研究上多元途徑來轉化公共行政社群所出現的危
機。
英文摘要
It has been for Public Administration to evolve over one hundred and ten years, since
Woodrow Wilson issued the great article- "The Study of Administration". There are for it fruitful
achievements on theory and practice. However, the academic circles has confronted the challenge of
amendmentism. The field of Public Administration is also facing the emerging issues of New Public
Management (NPM)、New Public Administration, etc. Do this field shrink, or the paradigm lost?
This article starts with Herbert Simon's "Logical Positivism Public Administration" and Dwight
Waldo's "Humanism Public Administration" to inquire into above, further so as to clarify the idea of
"Democratic Administration". Finally, I put forward multiple approach to transform the danger on
Public Administration.
