Reaping What You Sow
The "fog of war" is almost universally the military rationale for an inability to achieve intended outcomes without incurring unintended consequences. This so-called explanation all too often extends into other aspects of government activity, especially public administration. Chalmers Johnson's conception of collateral damage followed by blowback—that we reap what we sow—provides a more extensive and inclusive understanding of the relationship be…

Advice to a Young Person Concerning Theory
Reform, Revolution, or Mission Impossible
This article rejects the continuing reliance upon discredited economic and social compacts. It questions the possibility for an ethical, nonexploitative capitalism and directs attention to the political and political economy foundations of contemporary neoliberal global capitalism. There has been a pervasive focus on the power arrangements involved in the distinctive unequal, crisis-ridden accumulation of capital in the late twentieth and early t…
PPPs
This paper responds to Kee and Forrer's critique of Kouzmin, Johnston, and Thorne's (2011) examination of political and financial conspiracies involving elites and other self-serving interests connected to Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs). In particular, it assesses Kee and Forrer's de-contextualized, ahistorical neoliberal proposals and organization-level list of critical administration items required to eliminate any possible anti-democratic …

Economic SCADs
Economic state crimes against democracy (E-SCADs)—are aimed primarily at financial gain. Representative government, based on New Public Management's "lean and mean" assumptions, is increasingly vulnerable to E-SCADs because of deregulation and the growing use of outsourcing, privatization, no-bid contracts, and public-private partnerships (PPPs). Examples are presented of E-SCAD vulnerabilities in Australian PPPs for constructing large capital fa…
The Limits of Permissible Change in U.S. Politics and Policy
Barack Obama's election to the presidency offers scholars a rare opportunity to test their theories of modern representative democracy and US government. Different theories imply different trajectories for US politics and policy under Obama's leadership. In this article, the authors present one such theory, draw out its prognosis for the new administration, and contrast their predictions with those that follow from other, competing perspectives. …
Symposium The Dismal (Delusional and Dangerous) “Science” of Economics and the “Capture” of Public Administration
The global financial crisis (GFC) should be considered the reassertion of a physical economics that cannot be fluxed indefinitely by criminogenic elites. This article distinguishes the late twentieth-century domination of a dephysicalized, post-Keynesian, neoliberal monetarist New World Order economics and contextualizes the reemergence of interventionist, Keynesian economics to counter the GFC. This article critically examines the post-GFC retur…
The USA Patriot Acts (et al.)
The irrelevance of habeas corpus and the abolition of “double jeopardy,” secret and protracted outsourcing of detention and torture, and increasing geographic prevalence of surveillance technologies across Anglo-American “democracies” have many citizens concerned about the rapidly convergent, authoritarian behavior of political oligarchs and the actual destruction of sovereignty and democratic values under the onslaught of antiterrorism hubris, p…

Cyberpunk-Web 1.0 "Egoism" Greets Group-Web 2.0 "Narcissism
The question of paradigm "shift" or paradigm "continuity" in the virtual worlds of controllable and exploitative existence needs to be canvassed. Web 1.0 hubris seems to be augmented by a newer Web 2.0-based propaganda and related, commercial discourses involving the putative "liberating" politico-economic contours of cyberspace. The "democratizing" and "developmental" gradients of the "digital divide," externally and internally, have now been su…
The Imperative of Reason and Rationality
This paper deals with the celebrity-like status accorded to U.S. public administration theorists, in context and out of context. The Friedrich-Finer debate of 1940/1941 is re-visited not only in a comparativist re-casting of the democratic project and the vacuum of Weberian discourses but also in the context of the emerging, Neoliberal agenda of the role of the agentic Sovereign Individual within the globalizing grand narrative of cyberspace
Paradigmatic, Iconoclastic or Merely Seminal
How should one approach important in Public Administra tion? Two of many options focus on such texts being extolled as exem plars of eternal, even fractured, verities or judgment is made according to what the text may contribute to current epistemological and ontological pre-occupations (Kouzmin & Dixon, 2006, p. 703; Thorne and Kouzmin, 2007b, pp. 41-44). De-centred denial of the exis tence of narratives, skepticism about subjugating totalities …
Learning to Play the "Pea and Thimble" Charade-the Invisible and Very Visible Hands in the Neo-Liberal Project
This paper explores the mutual interest of the Post-modern and the Neo-liberal in sustaining a globalized, virtual and individual-sovereign consciousness. This paper explains how the ubiquity of the invisible hand of the market and the visible hand of management charade is fundamental to sustaining an Epochal discourse which masks Western, especially U. S., imperialism and the expansion of forms of Corporate Imperialism. This paper provides a man…
Borders in an (In) Visible World
Duplicity and propaganda constitute much of the emerging discourse on a “borderless” “new world order.” Deconstructing neoliberal propaganda is one issue. Understanding other colluding discourses is another. Postmodern rhetoric has yet to understand its complicity in refusing to acknowledge and critique the totalizing discourse of neoliberalism and there are dangerous currents to be negotiated in the fatuous collapsing of globalized “end of histo…
