Please give inputs to the following question. I have doubt on my approach. Thank You.

What are the implications of post structuralist perspective on the discrete aspects of public administration, coming from its epistemological positions?\

Ans: Post –Structuralist perspective emphasizes on organization and its interdependence on internal and external environment.

The study considered informal organisations, behavior of individuals, influence of environment. Unlike, structural theories the organization influence on environment and it getting influenced is researched. They denied one best way approach in organization design .

Positive implications:
-Awareness on the interdependence of the environment on organization.
-Consideration of informal organizations interface with formal organizations.
-Principle of synergy concept focus i.e structure, individuals, actions, behaviours are used to achieve organization goals.
-Better coordination with networking approach.

Negative implications:
-Systems approach is not practical as it leads to different permutations in bringing equilibrium with the environment.
-Public administration study losing the identity due to its studies focusing on sociology,political science and management concepts.
-Still the characters of structuralism such as efficiency and economy dominating the perspective.

However the post structurtalist perspective position brought the concept of administration interdependence with society .

The question is a 10marker . I would like to know what could be added to the below answer. Thank You.
The journey of administrative law has moved much beyond A.V.Dicey. Comment.

Ans:
A.V.Dicey focused on administrative law as a set of laws made by administration and subjected to administrative courts. The basic principle of the administrative law is the government possess special rights, privileges and liabilities in their relation with the citizen.

The system free from ordinary court jurisdiction opposed rule of law. The administrative law evolved in the modern state. As the actions are varied form quasi –legislative to judicial to administrative actions. The law deals with powers, liabilities and duties to bring efficiency in regulating the actions and protect the individual rights.

The Rule of law of Dicey provides conditions to achieve the democratic and constitutional goals. The administrative law tries to achieve it with providing flexibility, experimentation to the administration. The Administrative law evolved with the administrative actions .However, it works complementary and mutually inclusive to Dicey Rule of law.

@Suganyayou have taken a very narrow view regarding the answer, the debate over the boundary of Pub Ad is quite wide-ranging dealing with finding its locus and focus. POSDcORB vs Subject matter view is just one aspect.
Venn diagram and flow chart could be easily used in this answer to make it more appealing.
Views are personal and may be wrong, so completely open for debate.
All the Best.
Keep Writing.

@Suganyarather first write what di u understand by scope-the extent to which a discipline deals with..

Then write that practicalencironment and action part of pub ad guides the scope of pub ad..

1887-birth of pub ad as a discipline was due to issues of spoils system in action part..scope was narrow at that time because pub ad action was limited..

Similarly give examples...

Then write that since pub ad as ana cticivty is ever expanding, its scope is also ever expanding, whmith some scholars opining that its boundryless...

Give some characteristic of boundryelssness-networked etc..
Then write, though seems boudaryless, pub ad as discipline has a staple core..(study of the action part)
