Flоridа Internаtiоnаl University PH.D. IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM Cоmprehensive Examination Fall 23 Theory Day (10 AM – 2 PM) Answer the first question and any ONE of the other questions. You need to address all parts of each question to which you are responding. Give equal attention to all questions. You are expected to provide coherent and thoughtful responses. Question 1 (You must answer this question): A long-standing debate in public administration is how much discretion should be allowed to public administrators. Choose two out of the following three theoretical perspectives – political control of the bureaucracy, representative bureaucracy, and bureaucratic politics – and discuss the issue with administrative discretion from each perspective. What evidence has empirical research produced about how public administrators exercise their discretion? Illustrate your arguments by providing examples from policy areas of your choosing. Question 2: Since 1960, the size of the federal civilian, non-security related workforce has remained relatively constant at 2 million individuals, with an occasional decline or increase of up to 200,000. At the same time, the federal government’s activities and budget have expanded greatly, in part this has depended upon a vast expansion of contracted-out activities. Drawing upon both public administration theory and American governmental and political development and traditions, please explain why this has been the case, and both the strengths and weaknesses of these developments. Illustrate the key points on both sides of the debate by drawing upon the work of major public administration theorists. Question 3: While the conversation about making government more responsive and nimbler to a changing world has been happening for decades, those ideas are particularly relevant today given the challenges of Covid-19, political divisions, and volatile social unrest. Out of the literatures listed below, select and discuss three and explain how propositions and findings from these literatures can be used for making public and nonprofit organizations more responsive, nimble, and prepared to lead through tough times.
