• February 2018
Jos Raadschelders has been teaching and writing about public administration for 35 years, lately at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs of The Ohio State University. The role and position of government has changed significantly in the past two centuries, and there is no historical precedent for its current functions, tasks, and services. Citizens need to know that in the imagined communities of today we cannot live without government. Also, citizens will appreciate that a government not captured by private interests (be they businesses, interest groups) is the best safeguard for democracy.
