City administrators should furnish city services more proficiently while remaining within the confines of
democratic values. Political economy theory may be a method for examining how politics and economics
may impact city reestablishment endeavors. Eminent domain and police power are significant instruments

management as with it occurs a perception that both politics and administration are critical, many times
conjoined, and should operate in the type of association that nearly all local government experts
appreciate instead of the adversarial connection with their governing entity in which they sometimes find
themselves. The relevance of city managers has been entrenched in the structure of government itself.
