Administrative History of the United States

Development and State of the Art

University of Oklahoma

Although certainly not mainstream to the study of public administration, administrative history in the United States has quite a tradition. In this article, the development of the study of the history of American government is traced in five phases and discussed against the background of political and social change in society. The various studies are evaluated in terms of the themes, the nature, and the approach. Combining the "history as history" and the "history as advocacy" approaches would clarify why administrative history ought to be a standard element in our research and teaching.
