For the purposes of this assignment, the editorial team has invited you to write an op-ed about Norton Long and his article “Power and Administration,” evaluating how he discusses the role of the American party system and its impact on public administration.

Remember that editorials are typically opinion pieces; supporting your opinions with data adds to your credibility. Be sure your opinions are supported by evidence. Assume that Complex World is a leading source of interdisciplinary information for leaders in all fields and careers.

Write a 300-word editorial that evaluates the major points of Long’s writing. Consider the following:

As agencies are forced to struggle for administrative power, how does that negatively impact the daily operations of those organizations?

How do the shifts in public support play a role in the balance of power?
