Minnowbrook II: Conclusions
本文总结了明诺布鲁克II会议的十一个主题，指出公共行政学科已稳定，接受了民主价值和社会公平，致力于提升公共服务质量。
The eleven themes teased from the deliberations of Minnowbrook II represent a slice of time in the history of public administration, a story of good news, but with a bit of bad news as well. The good news is that the discipline of public administration is on a stable footing. Compared to the first meeting at Minnowbrook in 1968, public administration seems to be at peace with its core values and its sense of relevance and purpose. The field has learned from its defeats in the 1960s and 1970s and has reconciled itself to the challenges bequeathed by the 1980s. Whole-hearted acceptance of democratic values and preeminent attention to issues of social equity are unquestioned. The papers and the deliberations were permeated with a determination to make the public service better, with better trained practitioners and a more positive image of the public service.
