Legitimacy in Public Administration
A Discourse Analysis

  • O. C. McSwite - George Washington University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University


August 1997 | 320 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
This volume faces the challenge of the 21st century in this masterly analysis of the legitimate options open to public administration in a democratic society. Against a background of globalization of markets, increased prejudice, and racial and ethnic violence, the author demonstrates the centrality of administrative legitimacy to a 21st century that is an improvement over the 20th.
