Abstract

Our survey of administration in areas on the frontiers of public administration has led us from churches to hospitals. Now we come to prisons. Structures of authority are obviously different in these institutions, but the administrative problems they all face have been approached, to say the least, in a rather ambiguous fashion. The reader of these three contributions will certainly notice the similarities our authors emphasize by implication. In the next issue we will turn to an area more definite and clear in its approach to administration - the military. It will be possible then to begin to notice also major discrepancies and differences in the frontiers we are surveying.
