On Representative Bureaucracy: "Can a public bureaucracy be made into a representational institution despite such organizational features as hierachy, specialization, and formalization? This question is at once immensely important and perplexing?” -- Krislov and Rosenbloom
So what has happened to California’s great promise and optimism? [Peter Schrag posses the essential question this way]: “Can a system that was created, and that flourished, for one kind of population maintain (or regain) its optimism and vitality for another? Put another way; are California’s once-splendid public services and its promises of social equity sputtering and coughing because they became overloaded with social burdens? Or is the problem caused by some combination of hostility and indifference on the part of a body of voters that isn’t sure it wants to carry this kind of load for those kinds of people?” – Peter Schrag

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This MPA graduate core seminar examines the major concepts and issues in public administration. The history and the development of the modern public service and the bureaucracy are examined. The students will do an investigation of the role of the public sector in American society, law, economy, and current trends in the public sector. Key course areas are the national political institutions and processes, and professional standards and ethics are studied.
CLASS FORMAT
As a graduate seminar, the course makes extensive use of class discussions and interaction, with students challenged to analyze and critique readings, and to critically explore their relevance (application) to the students' experiences and personal organizational environment. The course will thus encourage and provide opportunities for the student to generate (problem definition/statement/formation) and analyze problems in their own environment and the testing of intervention alternatives (problem solving).
Moreover, as PPA 671 in regarded as the “CAPSTONE COURSE in the MPA,” with students assumed to arrive with a sound base in theory and literature, the course emphasizes applied experiences -- allowing for the application of acquired knowledge and skills to national, state and local public policy and management/leadership contexts. This will include significant opportunity for:
1. Engaging in informed dialog with invited guesses, i.e. top public manager/leaders from the public, nonprofit and health care sectors;
2. Utilizing current sources of applied research and data based information sources, on substantive issues in governmental policy, management, finance and public service, placing in the context their political, economic, legal and social environments; and,
3. Participating in small group/team project activities.
The professor shall further emphasize an exploratory tone toward the content and a process orientation toward instruction – seeking to create a learning community.
“You bring the content, together we will create meaning.”- Mauro Chavez
