Explanation
★The rise of New Public Administration is traced to the Honey Report, the Philadelphia Conference and Waldo's volume, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
★The Honey Report (1967) exposed the true state of the discipline and urged a wider view of public administration.
★The Philadelphia Conference (1967), chaired by James Charlesworth, debated the theory and practice of the field.
★Dwight Waldo's 'Public Administration in a Time of Turbulence' (1971) carried the new movement forward.
★Together with the Minnowbrook Conference of 1968, these events launched New Public Administration around 1968 to 1971.
★The Minnowbrook Conference II of 1988 came two decades later and is a revisit, not part of the original rise.
★So the founding events are 1, 3 and 4.
