Assignment:

The text is from Donald F. Kettl. (2020). Politics of the Administrative Process, 8th Edition

The most important question in public administration is how to give administrators enough power to accomplish the work that policymakers want to be done, without having them exercise their power in a way that threatens democracy and liberty. In essence, effectiveness exists alongside accountability, and according to the text, accountability becomes a matter of "balancing internal norms with external processes." The way this is done is through a combination of "independence" and "redundancy." Describe exactly what this means and evaluate it. Is this the best way to keep government systems accountable? Can you think of a better way to hold public administrators accountable?
