Abstract

Modern theorists traced the beginning of traditional public administration from the publication of Woodrow Wilson’s “The Study of Administration” in 1887, although his essay did not achieve “classic” status until the mid of the twentieth century. This famous essay set the foundations of the American state to move toward a managerially base ideology of separating politics from administration. Wilson’s politics-administration dichotomy serves as a historical basis to understand a predominant relationship in the field. The dichotomy articulated by Wilson is a debate that goes on nowadays and its end is not in sight. In contrast to Wilson, who created a theory based on his understanding of the field and the differences between public administration and political science, there are modern scholars, who acknowledge that there is opportunity to generate new models to analyze the changing bureaucracy.
This article is organized around the major theme of the relationship
between bureaucrats and politicians that has been always a central issue of governance from the dawn of civilization. The article is focused on this theme because it may be argued that this relationship is the heart of modern governance and affects the attitudes of citizens towards their governments.
