RESEARCH AGENDA
My research focuses mainly on the history of public administrative theory and practice. I study history as a method of comparative analysis of the political and ethical foundations of public administration. My early research focused on the American founding era, specifically on Hamiltonian public administration, and has since broadened to a variety of eras. I have published articles and book chapters which employ insight from Greek, Roman, Patristic, medieval European, and modern liberal approaches to public administration. Much of my work addresses the nexus between constitutionalism, law and administration; the emergence of professionalism in public administration; and the contrast of communitarian and rights-based models of administration. I have used much of this work to critically analyze contemporary administrative ideas and practices.

Foundations of American Public Administration. A book co-authored with Douglas Morgan and Craig Shinn (both of Portland State Un.).

The State, through Jody Warder's Training Division, is trying to offer this training on an annual basis, bringing in experts from many fields, and not just from UW.
