- Title
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN A TIME OF REVOLUTIONS.
- Authors
Waldo, Dwight
- Abstract
A revolutionary increase in the means of violence and a counter revolutionary or whatever it may be called-revolution against the use of violence. The past two or three generations and especially the past generation, have seen quantum jumps in the increase of man's ability to inflict violence and death on other human beings. No need to spell this out. The result is something of a counter revolution against the use of force and violence which takes many forms. The revolt of youth takes many forms, some corrosive as to established institutions, some deleterious as to personal well being. Optimists tells of pay-offs present and potential. The urban revolution. The cities grow in size and in number. They both pile up and spread out. They grow where they should not and decay where they should grow. The larger ones increasingly are referred to as ungovernable. The central historic interest of the sociologist in bureaucracy in a genuine revolution has something in common with this literary view.
