• W292490281 abstract "ABSTRACT This study argues that much can be gained by examining the true intellectual origins of the discipline of public administration-origins found not in the work of Weber nor of Wilson nut in the writings of the Greek thinkers underpinning the development of Western civilization. This study examines early Greek contributions to our understanding of the administrative state, beginning with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. A framework is developed which allows an examination and comparison of early Greek thought with more contemporary views of administration. study concludes with an assessment of the value of such an examination. No state can exist ... in the absence of those offices which are absolutely indispensable; no properly governed state can exist in the absence of those who which ensure good organization and order. Aristotle INTRODUCTION foundation of Western administrative structures are found in the polis-the Greek city-state established during the first millennium B.C. throughout the Mediterranean basin. These city-states developed a variety of governing structures as well as developing Western concepts about politics in general. Two are of primary significance: Sparta and Athens. These two states represented the extremes of administrative development in the polis and emerged as the dominant in the Greek world. In order to understand these states, an overview of earlier Greek administrative development, must also be examined. More important than those structures, however, are the ideas and concepts developed by the early Greeks concerning the proper purpose and functioning of government and these will be a primary focus of this study. In this regard, Athens, as the intellectual center of the Greek world, provides the fullest expression of the concepts and ideas that underpin Western development. This study will first focus on the administrative structures developed in the polis and then examine the thought underpinning these structures. It will conclude with a discussion of the significance of both structure and thought for the development of Western administration. ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE IN THE POLIS structure of the polis was heavily influenced by geography. people who moved into the Greek penninsula found a land divided by mountains and sea into a series of narrow valleys. Each of these valleys was capable of supporting only a limited population and was sufficiently isolated from other valleys to create a sense of community among the population. Within these valleys, Greek civilization developed not by conscious decisions but through a combination of customs, usage, and geography. As Harmon (1964:13) stated: The Greek did not consciously create the city-state form; he grew into it and developed with it. specific forms of government and administrative structures within these developing city-states is not known. Early Greeks, like their contemporaries elsewhere, left few records of their societal structures or administrative apparatus. This is not to say that man was not engaged in administration; he clearly was. As man moved from a wandering hunter to a more settled creature, he made that move through family and clan-forms of organization. And, as he developed agrarian-based social systems, he developed organizations to support those systems. Among the oldest written records known to mankind are tax receipts from early Mesopotamian civilizations. Indeed, it may not be too much to say that civilization requires organization. early Greek city-states had administrative structures and a good general understanding of them can be obtained from archaeological evidence and from the Greek epic poetry, especially the Iliad and the Odyssey. Greeks developed an agrarian society within their valleys which, while giving some natural protection by topography, still required an active defense. Greeks built their cities at strategic locations within these valleys with the acropolis serving as the primary strongpoint of the defensive system within each city. …" @default.
