Fiscal stress is an overlay on the anti-government/ bureaucracy framework that conditions the relationship between citizenship and public administration Dua masalah pokok administrasi publik: 1. Bagaimana sebuah pemerintah dapat membangun dukungan untuk perpajakan membiayai pelayanan publik ketika WN tidak mempercayai pemerintah untuk menghasilkan pelayanan yang layak? 2. Dan, bagaimana pemerintah dapat menyediakan pelayanan yang layak jika WN tidak mau membayarnya melalui mekanisme kolektif seperti perpajakan?

Coproducer

Causes Reporting inconvenient; takes too much time; dont want to bother police; difficulties with police
Fear of involvement

Solutions Simplify reporting; pamphlets on what to report; limit work hours; support from police, positive attitude

First

how generalizable is this example to other services that are not so central to citizens lives or so crisis prone?

Second

what are the equity considerations that likely will arise from such administrative reforms?

Third

how does a narrow citizen-based, service-providing group promote the development of such attributes of citizenship as trust in government, citizen efficacy, and a concern for the common good?

The crucial point about the coproduction concept is that it highlights a different understanding of urban service delivery, and of productivity improvement, from that incorporated in the dominant model [i.e. public administrators produce services, citizens consume them]. Here, the assumption is not that government officials perform for citizens, and therefore bear total responsibility for productivity improvements of lack thereof; rather, the emphasis is upon service delivery as a joint venture, involving both citizens and government agents. (Sharp argument)

Wealthier, better-educated, or nonminority citizens may be more willing to engage in coproduction activities. To the extent that coproduction raises the quality of services received, it may exacerbate gaps between the advantaged and disadvantaged classes.

Generalizability

Equity

At the minimum, such a bridge needs three stands: inovation, participation, and loyalty.
