Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles of American State Administration It has often been remarked that, in recent times, constitutional questions, which formerly held the front of the stage, have moved to the background, and problems of administration have become increasingly more prominent and urgent. Public attention is today being directed to the administrative side of government to a greater extent than ever before. It is now realized that efficient administration, formerly considered more appropriate to monarchical governments, is no less essential to a democratic government and is, indeed, intimately connected with the furtherance of true democracy. Acquaintance with the administrative activities of the American state governments is of peculiar importance to every citizen of the forty-eight commonwealths, since they constantly affect his life and well-being at manifold and vital points. In view of these facts, it is surprising that there has heretofore been no published attempt to describe comprehensively and systematically the organization and functions of the state administrative authorities. We have several such descriptions devoted to particular states or to certain phases of state administration, but they are usually too specialized or narrow in scope to be of more than local or restricted interest. The present volume has been prepared in the hope that it may fill, to some extent at least, the need indicated. It is based in part upon a college course in state administration which the author has given for the last six years, first at Princeton University and later at the University of Illinois, and in part upon researches undertaken by him on behalf of the Efficiency and Economy Commission of Illinois.
