Public Administration
You will discuss assigned questions for the Module/Week.
· Answers to questions must be supported with research and citations. It is not unusual, for instance, to have 3–4 citations per paragraph in doctoral-level research.
· Remember also that writing a research paper, especially at the doctoral-level, requires you to weave in ideas from numerous sources and then in turn synthesizing those ideas to create fresh insights and knowledge.
Specifics:
· 10-12 pages of content, double-spaced
· Must include citations from all readings and presentations for the assigned module (including the Fischer presentations and readings) and at least 15 scholarly sources
· Must include Biblical integration (the Fischer sources will help to that end)
· Current APA format
Module/Week 5 Essay

· Define governance.
· What are some of the connotations of the term governance as well?
