Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Most histories of public administration begin with the reforms of the late nineteenth century, as though the discipline arrived the moment scholars gave it a name. That account gets the story backward. The third volume in the Genesis of Public Administration series, The Catholic Church and the Foundations of Public Administration advances a bold claim and defends it across two thousand years of evidence: the Catholic Church ranks among the oldest and most sophisticated public administrative institutions the world has ever produced. Long before the modern state formalized the machinery of governance, the Church had already built the operational infrastructure that public administration scholars still study. Office-based authority separated the office from the officeholder, a foundational principle of modern public administration. Written law bound every officer to a common standard. A graded hierarchy carried administrative direction from the center to the farthest parish. Institutional memory preserved the record across the centuries, and orderly succession moved authority from one hand to the next without collapse. Public administration theory did not create these features. Theory named what the Church had already built, and the naming arrived many centuries after the building.Four contributions carry the argument forward, each examined through the lens of public administration theory and practice. The first establishes the durability of office-based authority, a public administrative mechanism of continuity that survived more than two hundred successions without dissolving the institution. The second demonstrates governance without coercion, the capacity to direct more than a billion members through legitimacy rather than force, a problem public administration scholars still wrestle with today. The third traces institutional resilience through reform, showing how the Church reshaped the periphery while defending the core across nine centuries of crisis, a case study in administrative survival that no modern organization can match. The fourth reveals the administrative significance of formation pipelines, the systems that produce trained officers before the vacancies arise, a practice central to any enduring public institution. The Genesis of Public Administration series was built on the premise that the discipline's roots run far deeper than the textbooks acknowledge. This third volume delivers the strongest evidence yet. A field accustomed to measuring governance in decades gains, through this case, evidence measured in millennia. This item is printed on demand.
