Public Administration is an art, a science, a profession, and a mode of stewardship that can be traced back to the ancient kingdoms of the Middle East and China in the time of Confucius. The rise of the modern state witnessed the further development in importance of a professional civil service. In democracies, elected officials set policies, but it is professional civil servants who see that these policies are implemented. Drawing upon the historical record of public, as well as his own long career as a public administrator, University Professor Kevin Starr will discuss with students the glory and pitfalls of this intrinsic polymathic profession.
