All the great human events in history were probably achieved by what we today
would call public administration. Organization and management practices in collective
or public settings are certainly as old as civilization, and significant changes
in those practices tend to accompany historical shifts in mass-scale social organization
and operation. For example, the transition from feudal society to the extended
nation-state was made possible by the centralization of policy, on the one
hand, and the decentralization of policy implementation, on the other (Tout ;
Ellul ; Chrimes ). The colonial era would be described the same way,
but on a worldwide scale (Gladden ). There are splendid comparisons of
British, French, Portuguese, Dutch, and Belgian approaches to issues of colonial
centralization and decentralization, the management of courts, and the organization
and management of navies and armies
