The book 'The Intellectual Crisis in American Public Administration' deals with

  • A.New Public Administration
  • B.Ecological Approach
  • C.Developmental Approach
  • D.Public Choice Approach

Answer: D

The book deals with the Public Choice Approach. Vincent Ostrom wrote The Intellectual Crisis in American Public Administration (1973) to attack the Wilsonian and hierarchical tradition and to argue for a democratic administration with many overlapping centres of decision making, built on public choice reasoning.

New Public Administration is wrong because that movement grew out of the Minnowbrook conference and stressed relevance and equity. The Ecological Approach is wrong because it is associated with Gaus and Riggs. The Developmental Approach is wrong because it belongs to the comparative and development administration literature.
