Public administration [[theory]] is the domain in which [[discussions]] of the [[meaning]] and [[purpose]] of government, bureaucracy, budgets, governance, and public affairs takes place. In recent years, public administration theory has periodically connoted a heavy orientation toward [[critical theory]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodern postmodern] philosophical notions of government, governance, and power. However, many public administration [[scholars]] support a [[classic]] definition of the term emphasizing constitutionality, [[service]], bureaucratic forms of organization, and [[hierarchical]] government.
