早期公共行政研究的学理演进（1887-1926年）

Study Evolution of Public Administration in Early Stage from 1887 to 1926

早期公共行政研究（1887-1926年）是公共行政研究的源头和逻辑起点,只有对早期公共行政研究有着透彻的认识,才能更准确地把握公共行政发展的来龙去脉。早期的公共行政研究主要有以下几个特点：政治-行政二分;以问题解决为导向,把公共行政作为一个方法,而不是一门学科;坚信公共行政是一门科学;通过法律的视角来研究公共行政;采用分层分类的公共行政。这个时期的人们已经认识到公共行政研究的重要性,并为以后的公共行政研究奠定了重要的成果基础,但是由于视野的偏狭,无法产生系统的、全面的公共行政研究,更不可能产生公共行政这门学科。所以,1887-1926年是公共行政学的播种季节,而不是收获季节,收获的任务是由伦纳德·怀特完成,收获的成果就是怀特的行政科学思想。

The study of public administration in early stage,from 1887 to 1926,is the origin and the logical starting point of the study of public administration.Only when the study of public administration in an early stage is understood comprehensively,can the context of the public administration development be exactly grasped.There are some features about the study of public administration in early stage,as following：the dichotomy of politics and administration,the problem-solving orientation and the concern with public administration as a process,the belief in public administration a science,the legalistic approach to study public administration,and the stratified classification of administration.At this stage,people recognized the importance of the study of administration,and make an important contribution to the study of public administration later.However,due to the limit of their visions,it can neither produce a comprehensive knowledge in the study of public administration,nor can it promote a discipline of public administration.So the years from 1887 to 1926was not a harvest time,but a sowing season,and the harvest is the thought of administrative science by Leonard White.
