Abstract
Over the years, the public administration field has undertaken a series of moves that has diminished its ability to create alliances with other groups that share many concerns with us. As a result, the field has not developed alliances with academic groups, practitioners, and others who could help public administration emphasize the interrelationships between content of policy and processes. There are many natural opportunities for the public administration field to develop alliances and collaborative activities of both a formal and informal nature and to push beyond some of the traditional boundaries that currently define the field.
