Stories Managers Tell
A small but vociferous group of critical scientists has conducted a concerted attack on how public managers acquire knowledge. The implication is that more use of science among managers and in public administration curricula can cure what ails public administration: namely an alleged deficit of valid knowledge. The major alternate means of acquiring knowledge that managers use is story-telling, in written form: the case study and descriptive narr…
Postmodernism, Bureaucracy, and Democracy
A Symposium on the Political Thought of H. Mark Roelofs
When those of us who were Mark Roelofs's students, colleagues, and friends read his work, we can often hear his voice in the text: his impatience that the political potential he saw in the Protesta
Disturbance, Coping, and Innovation
Is there an escape from terror? Beyond loss of life, terrorism aims to undermine the meaning of life. Policy responses are based on flight, paralysis, or fight-responses ranging from war to containment .What, however, if even normal life already "contains" terror? If so, how we deal with the small disturbances in everyday coping may tell us something about what it takes to build a world beyond terror. For this purpose we pay special attention to …

Personnel Management
Personnel management is vitally important to the maintenance and preservation of the administrative state and its democratic institutions. This reaction critically examines the personnel recommendations made by Floyd W. Reeves and Paul T. David in their study Personnel Administration in the Federal Service. It questions the degree to which there is a coherent set of political and constitutional expectations marking the progress of personnel polic…

The Triumph of Numbers
We live in a world of numbers, but numbers have become so dominant that we consider nothing to be real unless it can be measured and mathematized. How did we come to live by the numbers? An answer is offered by Edmund Husserl. By constructing a history of mathematics rooted in the geometry of land surveying, it is possible to point to breaking points showing how it came to be that man is no longer the measure of all things. This provides indicato…
A Once and Future Politics
Can it be that the modern perspective on politics, policy-making, and administration is so inbred that we are disabled from envisioning alternatives? Martin Heidegger thought so. The present author attempts to give an initial insight into what may be the controversial German philosopher's hidden opus on “Politics” as it revives the relationship between the polis and truth

Constructing Civil Space
Back to the Future
Introducing to the public administration a long-standing dispute between Herbert Simon and the philosopher Hubert Dreyfus over the assumptions underlying artificial intelligence, the argument pursues the likelihood that computers will never encompass human intelligence as a whole but that human intelligence is being reduced to the level of computers.

Uncovering Validity Criteria for Stories Managers Hear and Tell
}Policymakers and managers rely to a large extent on stories told to them for information that shapes problem formulation and decision. But what can give them confidence in such stories? In this article, one of several articles by the author in which the value of stories is examined, the social origins of validity standards for storytelling. Based on sociological theory regarding the construction of social reality, the author argues that four que…

Toward a New Administrative Doctrine
Three successive terms of market-oriented presidents raise difficulties for federal bureaucrats in legitimating past administrative doctrine and practices, which were government-centered. The present article responds to Charles Levine's call for a new administrative doctrine that is more fully descriptive of the needs and routines of today's federal civil servants than a doctrine based on either a liberal or neo-conservative ideology. The author …

Psychology of Charismatic Followers
An operational psychological definition of charisma is possible on the basis of Freud's projection theory. This shows that (a) the social sources of charisma lie in object-loss, (b) the intense love of the follower for the leader is the result of projection, and (c) the experience of the leader's qualities as uncanny is the result of the follower's inability to make his conscious aware of the unconsciously undertaken projection. Three cases are e…
Freud's Totem Theory as Complement to Max Weber's Theory of Charisma
Charisma ascription, described sociologically by Max Weber, can be explained psychologically through the mechanism of projection triggered when the individual is forcibly separated from a loved object. Such separation produces an ambivalence of attitudes based on conflict between opposite feelings, i.e., love and hate. Conflict is resolved by projecting one of the pair of opposites into the external world—onto an individual or object—whence it is…
