Rosemary O'Leary is a public policy researcher and teacher. She is most acknowledged for her scholarship exploring dissent in public organizations, collaboration to improve public service, and the impact of courts on public administration.
Rosemary O'Leary is best known for her book, The Ethics of Dissent: Managing Guerrilla Government. Guerrilla government is O’Leary’s term for the actions taken by public servants who work against the wishes—either implicitly or explicitly communicated—of their superiors. Guerrilla government is a form of dissent carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people but who typically choose strategically not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. Guerrilla government is about the power of career bureaucrats, the tensions between career bureaucrats and political appointees, and what it means to act responsibly, ethically, and with integrity as a public servant. O’Leary illuminates the importance of dissent in public organizations, especially in times of political strife (e.g. during the Trump administration).
Other areas of research she has contributed to focused on the impact of courts on public policy and the importance of collaborating across boundaries to improve public services. She co-created E-PARCC: Free, open-source online cases and simulations aimed to stimulate collaborative ways to creatively solve our most pressing public policy problems around the world.
A prolific author, she has won 13 national research awards and 2 international research awards, including 4 best books awards. She is the winner of 11 teaching awards, two of them national. She is also the only person to win four Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration awards for Best Dissertation (1989), Excellence in Teaching (1996), Distinguished Research (2004), and Excellence in Doctoral Education (2021).
