Introduction
Chapter 1- Administrative Rule-Making: Meaning and Concept
Chapter 2 - Parliamentary control over Administrative Rule-Making
Chapter 3- A Comparative Study of the Parliamentary Control over Administrative Rule-Making: India and USA
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The position of our country regarding the same has already been discussed in the previous chapter. In this chapter, the same shall be discussed regarding USA. The position in the United States is significantly different. For the U.S. Congress operates under a written constitution and the courts have the authority to interpret the Constitution and thereby declaring a congressional ruling unconstitutional if it conflicts with their views of the Constitution. Also the doctrine of 'delegaus non potest delegare' holds in United States, which means that a delegate cannot further delegate its powers. Thus, the Congress being a delegate of the people cannot further entrust its powers to any other agency."

Abstract
This paper introduces the issue of public administration and then discusses four major theories of public administration: the Hamiltonian Tradition, the Jeffersonian Tradition, the Madisonian Tradition, and Wilsonian Tradition. The paper then compares these traditions and provides an analysis of the traditions and today?s U.S. executive administration.
From the Paper
"Alexander Hamilton?s insistence on a strong executive branch was not based solely on his desire to push his own philosophy of public administration on the young nation. He had seen the failure of the Articles of Confederation in its attempt to solidify the country; states quarreled about everything before ratifying the Articles, and some even went out on a limb and had their own foreign policy. States couldn?t agree on paying for a national army, nor on taxation and spending. Hamilton?s balancing act was, how does the country create an executive ?powerful enough to make the government strong? (Kettl, page 30) and yet how does the country prevent a concentration of too much authority and power in the White House? Hamilton had plenty of experience in executive decision-making, as he was the very first treasury secretary in the nation; and it was his authorship of documents on public credit, national banking, and manufacturing that later formed the basis of the executive branch of national government."

Abstract
This paper presents a professional manual for employees of a specific administrative agency. It briefly looks at administrative law and the procedures the department should avoid to ensure that no legal problems arise. Specifically, the paper outlines the concepts of discretion, credibility (and how applicant credibility is to be determined), standards with regards to bias (that is to say, what will henceforth be expected of subordinate decision-makers) and the extent of duty that will now be expected from all employees.
From the Paper
"Before leaving the issue of credibility, I wish also to point out the manner in which concerns about an applicant's credibility are to be spelled out. Henceforth, if there is a suspicion of deceit, precise instances of deception and contradiction must be noted in the final judgment. As well, particulars and context must be provided whenever a claimant cannot answer a question; in other words, if the client was unable to provide certain information because of extenuating circumstances, that needs to be highlighted. Finally, all decisions rendered by an adjudicator must be carefully examined by that adjudicator to ensure that logical fallacies, inconsistencies and contradictions are not present in the text of the decision - and that there is a complete apprehension of all the facts of the case by the adjudicator. For a good example of precisely the sort of thorough, post-mortem examination of their decisions that I want my adjudicators to undertake (especially with regards to decisions about the credibility of an applicant), please see the court decision in Hilo v. Canada (1991)."

Abstract
Prior to the late 1990's, the skills needed by an administrative professional or secretary were typing speeds of a minimum of 60 words per minute, utilizing dictation equipment and taking shorthand. Today, being successful as an Administrative Professional means that you must have the skills of tomorrow, today. The paper shows that there are various obstacles that administrative professionals will face while advancing in their careers, including the skills needed as an entry level administrative professional, the obstacles that the administrative professional faces on the climb up the corporate ladder and the role that the administrative professional will play in the office of the future.
From the Paper
"Today, skills need to be learned by continuing education and attending training classes in order to keep up on the new technologies. Many professionals entering the industry look to the many local temporary placement agencies to assist them in obtaining the skills needed. Many of these companies offer training courses while allowing the Administrative Professional to gain valuable working experience as a temporary employee for various companies. This flexible schedule will allow entry level Administrative Professionals to obtain basic skills through such devices as community college programs, including Office Technology and Business Administration/Management and attending seminars."

School Administrative Decisions, 2004.
This paper discusses that the most effective group to influence school administrative decisions are teachers.

Abstract
This paper outlines that one of the major disputes within educational institutions is the distribution of power and administrative responsibility: One side believes the administration and structuring of education needs to be left with ?professional? administrators, while the other side believes that teachers deserve a more central role. The author points out that teachers are affected by the decisions of administrators to a very high degree and need to have some control and influence over their fate. The paper concludes that the contention that teachers will advance their interests alone if given more administrative influence is absurd.
From the Paper
"Obviously, it is the unanimous opinion of those within our educational institutions is that teachers? opinions are not granted the same attention as others of power, so the next step in analyzing this phenomenon is asking ourselves?why? Paul Moreno, a reporter for the Massachusetts News, believes the problem lies within the teacher?s union. He writes of teacher?s unions throughout the nation using coercive power for control. Unions maintain strong positions of power within state legislatures and parental groups within school systems."

Abstract
This paper offers a critical analysis of secretaries and administrative assistants. The writer discusses that various fields of occupation need secretaries and administrative assistants, with more and more positions open in this field. However, the writer notes that the duties of these administrative staff continue to change as newer technology is discovered. Further, the writer maintains that the impact of technology on secretarial jobs has changed the role of secretaries and administrative assistants and will continue to change their roles.
From the Paper
"What does a secretary do? What are administrative assistants? Should I even consider being a secretary or administrative assistant? These are important questions in the process of doing a labor analysis in this field. First, what is the main role of a secretary or administrative assistant? This is a difficult question because different secretaries and office administrators do different duties depending on the company."

?Unmasking Administrative Evil?, 2004.

1,229 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, in "Understanding Administrative Evil", authors Guy B. Adams and Danny L. Balfour explore the idea and evolution of the concept of evil. It looks at how, over time, historical evil has evolved into administrative evil, a form of evil that is unique to modernity, and how the main differences between historical and administrative evil lie in the perpetrator?s motivation. It analyzes how, to illustrate their arguments, Adams and Balfour cite numerous and varied cases of administrative evil, including the Jewish Holocaust, welfare reform, immigration, and the destructive organizational culture at NASA that spawned the Challenger tragedy.
From the Paper
"To support their argument, Adams and Balfour apply their theory to a number of modern historical events. In their first study, the authors analyze the Holocaust, first by summarizing the debate between intentionalist and functionalist scholars. However, to fully understand the German society?s complicity in the Holocaust, Adams and Balfour argue for a synthesis ? that the Holocaust grew out of a ?confluence of historical and political forces, racist ideology and anti-Semitism, organizational competition and the bureaucratic processes of a highly developed modern society? (59)."

Administrative Culture, 2007.
This paper applies public administration fundamentals and Weberian theory to understanding the administrative culture of the University Student Council of the University of the Philippines.

Abstract
This paper explains that the University Student Council of the University of the Philippines is not only a service, campaign and activity center for students but also plays a historic militant role in political upheavals, which support the democratic interests of the Filipino people. The author points out that, while the members of an organization understand the formal structure, rules and regulations of the organization, its administrative culture dictates how and why members of an organization operate and deliver its goals. The paper stresses that the Weberian characteristic of strict subordination is very difficult to implement in the USC because of the strong notion of democratic leadership in the student council.
Table of Contents:
The UPM University Student Council (USC) Constitution in Brief
The NUSP Edgar Jopson Student Council Manual
Maintaining Leadership
Develop Expertise in Technical Work
Reviewing Waldo's the Study of Public Administration
The Pull of Culture in the University Student Council
Militant National Democratic Culture
Contemporary Youth Popular Culture
Understanding Culture is Key
From the Paper
"Nonetheless, understanding the politics-administration dichotomy might be very important in understanding the dynamics of the USC due to its fused politico-administrative character. The dichotomy stems from the notion that politics and administration can never be totally isolated from each other, no matter how big or small the bureaucracy is. In terms of structure, the administrative portion of the bureaucracy is clearly accountable to the political branches of government, to the policies laid down by the political actors at a given time."

Administrative Discretion and Active Representation, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines this article whose purpose is to look at the theory of representative bureaucracy in a slightly different way. Most studies dealing with representative bureaucracy have focused on active representation, but have not looked into the administrative discretion that is often tied to it. It explains how this study seeks not only to discuss the theory of representative bureaucracy, but then move on to administrative discretion and how it is often tied into the active representation of what one does. The main research question is whether administrative discretion and active representation are actually tied together and whether it affects how individuals who are making decisions based on minority status tend to make decisions in favor of those who are of the same race or ethnic background as they are.
From the Paper
"The research model that is used is an empirical analysis and is conducted based on a housing loans program and whether individuals who are of minority descent will have a better chance of getting a home loan if the individual who is helping them with the loan is also of their same background. There are several variables in this particular study, with the first one being administrative discretion (Sowa & Selden, 2003). The variables that were chosen were utilized because they were believed that they would affect the behavior of various administrators and this in turn would determine whether decisions that had to do with minority interest would be made by these individuals. The administrative discretion is used in this particular study to see what impact it has on the various policy outcomes that work in favor of minority interest (Sowa & Selden, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper shows that in the education sector, service standardization has become an issue of concern for many administrators. Schools and college institutions for instance depend on administrators to set out agendas, develop and promote organizational goals for educators to achieve. This paper proposes administrative changes in education, outlining what factors are responsible for hindering the progress of organizational change, and provides a list of hypothesis.
From the Paper
"Dickinson?s [1999] conclusions were consistent with previous studies by Altschuld and Armenakis. To her, the overall driving force of change organization was specialization, a need that corresponds with the industrial era. Faculty members at community colleges today must conform to the need of the graduate practical life and hence must direct their training to specific fields of work at the departmental levels. She quoted Cohen (1992, p. 161) "with rare exception, the [community college] faculty tend to teach in the same ways, to the same number of students, for the same number of hours as their predecessors did a generation ago.""

Roosevelt including such agencies as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and many others. These agencies are in operation to protect a public interest rather than to protect private rights ... "

Abstract
This paper reviews the Parliamentary and Presidential systems, the two basic forms of representative government. According to the paper, both systems represent the people of the country by means of democratic choice and freedom. The Parliamentary system originated in Great Britain and the Presidential system, in the United States.
From the Paper
"The two basic forms of representative government are the Parliamentary and Presidential systems. As both of these systems are representative, they both incorporate democracy, and freedom for their people. Of the two systems, the Parliamentary system is the most common, having originated in Great Britain and then been exported around the world as it developed its Empire. This was how India acquired its Parliamentary system of government. The Presidential system is used by the USA, and many countries in South America."
