In your view, what isthe most compelling argument that can be made for a “both/and” rather than an “either/or”position?IntroductionCase Management as well as Public Administration always involves trying to come up with acomprehensive and complete understanding of government functions and internal structuresregardless of its complexity or the way it interacts with the society. To provide further insight onthe same, the book mentioned gives an outline of interdisciplinarity with regards to the history,boundaries, underlying assumptions, and growth of public administration and case management(ResearchGate, 2017). The disciplinarity discussed in the selected chapter helps in the trackingof fields that emerge behind a conceptionally expanded background with regards to the growthand state of public services. The same concept is deeply rooted in three knowledge branches.These include social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. From the chapter, publicadministration knowledge source can be mapped. An explanation can also be provided regardingthe manner in which the same is fragmented specializations of disciplines, the government,social sciences, and the entire society. From the chapter, one is also able to determine the mannerin which authors are able to map disciplines as well as apply different theories (ResearchGate,2017).

Itis from the same section that a heated debate regarding public administration being treated as ascience, an art, or a craft gets initiated (Repko & Szostak, 2017, p. 30).

Particularly, the “both/and” approach happens to be portrayed inthe interdisciplinarity definitions provided in the earlier sections of the book. However, the samealso means having questions answered, problems solved, and topics addressed. In such a way,the instrumentalist approach is reflected (Limbach & Jong, 2014). Interdisciplinarity also createsa better understanding of issues. Having such understanding communicated requires havingpolitical and epistemological questions raised.
