Cultural Considerations in the Treatment of Eating Disorders among Racial/Ethnic Minorities
Eating disorders (ED) prevalence is rising among ethnic and racial minority groups, yet disparities persist in treatment seeking, and effectiveness. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize works that provide theoretically grounded and empirically evidenced clinical recommendations for the inclusion of culture in the treatment of eating disorders in non-white individuals. Thirty one articles revealed the following 11 core recommenda…

Restraining the Unitary Executive
The now dominant unitary executive model of presidential power claims historical, constitutional, and moral warrant for placing under direct presidential control all authority to interpret and execute the law. What are administrators to do when faced with presidential directives that they find legally distorted and morally wrong? Administrative ethics frameworks obligate administrators to exercise moral agency and fulfill their autonomous commitm…

Curing the Mischiefs of Faction in the American Administrative State
The worries American citizens express about the distorting influence of minority factions, or special interests, on public governance are as old as the republic. I briefly recount the constitutional design flaws and developmental changes that have combined to make these worries more valid than ever in an age of administratively centered governance. I then review the evidence on the nature and extent of special interest influence on the administra…

The Organ of Experience
Building on Wilsonian foundations, this article present the normative case for a special, central role for public servants in the design and redesign of public law, including constitutions. Central to the author’s argument are Wilson’s characterization of public administration as “the State’s experiencing organ” and his contention that public administration is the primary institution engaged day to day in negotiating the dynamic tension between p…
Arenas of Power in Climate Change Policymaking
This article investigates the potential linkage between particular policy design ideas and distinctive patterns of politics and power relations. The research examines a sequence of four cases involving the use of the cap-and-trade policy design principally to combat global climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Through the lens of arenas of power framework, the comparative case analysis suggests the existence of consist…
Full Disclosure
Full Disclosure: The Perils and Promise of Transparency. By Archon Fung, Mary Graham, and David Weil. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007. 282p. $28.00. One of the cornerstones of Woodrow Wilson's policy agenda, even before he formally sought the presidency, was transparency. To neutralize corporate misbehavior, for instance, he called for “turn[ing] the light” on corporations: “They don't like light. Turn it on so strong they can't stand …
Principal-Agent Models of Political Control of Bureaucracy
In the March 1988 issue of thisReview, B. Dan Wood invoked a principal-agent perspective to establish the importance of democratic hierarchies in shaping the outputs of public bureaucracies. He tested the model with air pollution enforcements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between 1977 and 1985. His results suggested some limitations on bureaucracies' responsiveness to elected political institutions, consistent with a principal-agen…

Woodrow Wilson's Ideas About Local Government Reform
New scholarship promoting direct citizen engagement in public administration is grounded in a rejection of the theory and ethos of the administrative state, including the presumptively conventional views of Woodrow Wilson. Yet Wilson's ideas in this regard were hardly conventional. As part of his sweeping prescriptive vision for a national administrative system in the United States, Wilson promoted cities as the exclusive locus of direct citizen …
The Representative Function of Bureaucracy
The dominant hierarchical and pluralist views of the proper role for an active, policy-making bureaucracy in a liberal democracy, which are grounded in concepts of representation, do not adequately justify rule by bureaucrats. Moreover, the idea of representative bureaucracy does not compensate for the deficiencies in hierarchical and pluralist arguments. An alternative defense of the legitimacy of the administrative state must draw on a constitu…
Organizing and Managing Radioactive Waste Disposal as an Experiment

The Politics of Market‐Based Environmental Regulation
Objectives. To expand scholarly attention to a neglected area of environmental policy and politics, I attempt to test several empirical propositions drawn from the small body of existing research on the politics of market‐based environmental regulation. Methods. I analyze public comments on a recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulatory action guiding states on the design of various market‐based air pollution control programs. I focus o…

Wilson's Failure
Woodrow Wilson sought to establish a new kind of statesmanship for the American regime and a new science of politics. He intended the latter to support the former, so that the practicing politician and the studious academic would not talk past one another. His efforts to redirect the discipline away from a natural science orthodoxy and subdisciplinary fragmentation were largely ignored during his time because he failed to resolve the core discipl…
Expertise, Discretion, and Definite Law
The presidential election of 1912 was the defining political contest of the Progressive Era. Woodrow Wilson's speeches from that campaign produced a remarkable synthesis of political thought and evocative rhetoric. A close look at several key speeches shows that Wilson developed further his thinking about the place and purposes of public administration in a progressive democracy. Careful and precise law as a constraint on the power of expertise a…

The Role of Exercise Dependence for the Relationship between Exercise Behavior and Eating Pathology
Our study examined the potential mediating or moderating effect of exercise dependence on the exercise-eating pathology relationship. Female university students ( N = 330) completed Internet-based self-report measures of exercise behavior, exercise dependence, and eating pathology. Exercise dependence served as a mediator for the relationship between exercise and eating pathology. This unidirectional causal model suggests that an individual's pat…
A Problem of Politics of Technique? Insights from Waste-Management Strategies in Sweden and France
Sweden and France are in many respects in the vanguard of high-level radioactive waste disposal efforts, and they offer sharp contrasts regarding basic strategies and underlying philosophies for waste management. We compare their waste disposal programs for insight into the dilemma of siting and developing a permanent waste repository. We find that technical decisions, as well as the more obvious sociopolitical decisions about repository developm…
The Public Life of Economic Incentives
Many current proposals for policy reform call for the use of economic incentives. The growing application of economic incentives in a number of policy areas necessitates continuing critical examination of the claims for and the criticisms of their use. Early empirical evidence on the implementation of incentive schemes serves to shed light on the validity of some of the supporting and opposing arguments. By continuing the assessment of the viabil…

Subordination or Independence for Administrators? The Decision of 1789 Reexamined
ing the constitutive position helped shape the outcome as well as the ongoing debate over the constitutional status of thefederal bureaucracy. What is the proper role for administrative power in the American constitutional system? This question was certainly a central concern in the writings of Woodrow Wilson and Frank Goodnow. Louis Brownlow, Luther Gulick, and Charles Merriam fashioned an expansive answer as part of the foundation for the New D…

Politics, Political Leadership, and Public Management
Political institutions are distinctive entities. They are both instrumental to and of a regime. They are the principal means by which a polity can achieve its collective purposes. But, political institutions also exert a formative effect on a regime. A people that seeks to govern itself through representatives, for instance, must create a representative assembly, and in doing so the people give the assembly a particular character. But then, by vi…
