Drawing on both historic examples and ongoing contemporary debates over embryonic stem cell research and global climate change, W. Henry Lambright of Syracuse University suggests that, given the extreme level of political-ideological volatility today, potential administrative solutions may be limited, al- though partial remedies are available that require our urgent consideration. Albert Teich of the American Association for the Advancement of Science responds with a denunciation of the scientific community's paternalistic tendency to educate the public, calling instead for more give-and-take in the public dialogue on scientific issues that generate political controversy. 5 Government and Science: A Troubled, Critical Relationship and What Can Be Done about It By W. Henry Lambright 19 Can Administrative Measures Resolve a Political Conflict? By Albert H. Teich 24 Is the World Flat or Spiky? Rethinking the Governance Implications of Globalization for Economic Development By Richard C. Feiock, M. Jae Moon, and Hyung Jun Park Recently, two very different diagnoses and potential cures for the globalization challenges fac- ing state and local economic development have attracted considerable media attention: the argu- ment offered by journalist Thomas Friedman in his book The World Is Flat and that of economic development specialist Richard Florida in The Rise of the Creative Class. Which one is correct? The authors of this essay compare and contrast both sides of the Friedman-Florida debate, its theoreti- cal roots, normative assumptions, plus practical implications for public administrators, elected officials, and stakeholders confronting difficult economic development choices nowadays.

Watson, University of Texas at Dallas John C. Morris, Old Dominion University To mark the 60th anniversary of the publication of Dwight Waldo's The Administrative State, as well as to honor one of American public administration's great teachers and scholars, the editors have reversed the normal order of senior-junior conceptual exchanges by asking three prominent seniors-James Svara of Arizona State University, Camilla Stivers of Cleve- land State University, and David Rosenbloom of American University-to respond to a recent blind, peer-reviewed article by a young scholar, Patrick Overeem of Leiden University. Their exchange addresses the central, enduring issue raised by The Administrative State: the problem of relating politics to administration. What follows is a fascinating intergenerational dialogue over what remains a fundamental intellectual conundrum of public administration. 36 Beyond Heterodoxy: Dwight Waldo and the Politics-Administration Dichotomy By Patrick Overeem 46 Beyond Dichotomy: Dwight Waldo and the Intertwined Politics-Administration Relationship By James H.
