administration was intended to lie outside the sphere of politics. Therefore
administration questions are not political questions. this clearly illustrates a separation
of politics and administration. Wilson dealt two types of politics, partisanship and
patronage and thai of policy making. These two distinctions are essential because it
politics includes policy making then the administrator is void of the ability to participate
in the functions of the organization. What Wilson wanted to do was to simply remove
patronage politics from administration. He believed administrators were politicians, and
they must have freedom to make ethical decisions. The dictionary definition of politics
does limit the part of the policy-making process of guiding or influencing the policy of
government. However it also allows for patronage. This definitely backs wilson’s view
and it gives solution to goodnow’s interpretations.
