“…Some studies attempted to understand how public administrators and elected officials perceive each other (e.g., Lee, 2001Lee, , 2006. Lee (2001), for example, used his long experience as an elected official and concluded that public administrators are perceived in a subordinate position vis-à-vis elected officials and are expected to follow legislative directions without serious argument.…”

The question of how public administration fits into the governance process of a democratic society has been of great concern to scholars and practitioners since the emergence of public administration as an academic field of study in the late 1880s. The politics-administration relationship is considered of pivotal importance, as the issue bears important implications for both the disciplinary identity (and autonomy) and the institutional development of public administration. Despite a voluminous literature on the subject, the question remains unanswered. Scholarly inquiry to this date identifies two major positions, one separation and the other its opposite, political. Unlike prior conceptualizations, this article distills the literature into three major schools of thought as separation, political, and interaction. The article then examines the state of the research that has followed three strands as historical, conceptual, and empirical. The author makes an overall evaluation of the past research and lays out a different approach in studying this important question.

“…Before moving to an examination of the data, it is important to establish the parameters of administrative rulemaking within Wisconsin. As is true elsewhere, governmental agencies in Wisconsin are granted rulemaking authority by the state legislature (e.g., Holbrook, ), although Lee () notes that the specific nature of relations between legislators and administrators varies depending on the context of their interactions. While agency rules have the effect of law, the legislature exercises ultimate oversight of the rulemaking process.…”

This study examines interest groups undertaking lobbying activity focused on administrative rulemaking. The analysis utilizes a dataset composed of observations made during the 2009-2010 Wisconsin Legislative Session, including the entire population of groups lobbying during this time period. This research examines the participants, efforts, and coalitions utilized when groups engaged in lobbying activity related to rulemaking. Although scholars have examined interest group activity focused on rulemaking at the federal level, little work has focused on this behavior in the states. This study aims to further the understanding of this activity.
