Rulemaking
Rulemaking refines, and in some instances defines, the mission of every government agency and affects the lives and activities of all citizens and often non-citizens. It provides directions and content for budgeting, program implementation, procurement, personnel management, dispute resolution, and other important government activities.

Critical Pluralism, Democratic Performance, and Community Power
Who governs is a central question in political science. Typically, political scientists address this question by relying upon either empirical analysis, which explains existing political practices, or normative analysis, which orescribes ideal politcal practices.
Civil Servants and Their Constitutions

In this synthesis of political philosophy, public administration, and American history, Rohr seeks to legitimize the administrative state in terms of constitutional principle. He tries to show that the fourth (or administrative) branch of government is compatible with the plans of the framers--both Federalist and anti-Federalist-of the U.S. Constitution and of the Bill of Rights. He argues that the combination of powers in administrative agencies does not violate the standard of separation of powers set forth in The Federalist (especially by James Madison); the higher reaches of the career civil service fulfill the framers' constitutional design by performing a balancing function originally assigned to the Senate; and the career civil service en masse heals the defect of inadequate representation in the Federal Constitution.
