Sovereignty under Challenge: How Governments Respond
Sovereignty under Challenge: How Governments Respond
Is there a hierarchy of human rights
People's actual experiences with human rights reveal which ones are the most prevalent in their daily lives, and thus provide a possible basis for estimating their relative importance and for adopting appropriate policies. Denials and abuses are relatively rare in the Western world, but different groups have very different experiences. The most disadvantaged groups are the members of minority races (especially blacks). Upper income groups have be…

The American Pot and the Chinese Kettle: Joining Forces for Human Rights
NO nation is a virtuoso when it comes to human rights performance In its representations to China, the United States takes stronger action against violations of "intellectual property" rights (in the form of CDs and trade marks) than against violations of freedom of speech and person For its part, China complains about economic inequality in the U.S., but justifies Tiananmen Square with the elusive claim that social harmony is a greater good than…

The Policy World-Jurisprudence as a Policy Science
The Yale tradition of policy sciences offers a comprehensive taxonomy of human behavior, especially that which is associated with purposive institutional actions. Like newer schools of thought such as Public Choice, it has a theoretical base; like the Public Policy tradition, it focuses on historical explanations and analyses. Its categories of analysis range from Lasswell's famous eight value arenas to the seven policy functions that ate often u…
Policies without People: On Deciphering the Operational Implications of an NAS Report
In their professional work, scientists think of themselves as political neutrals. Both political parties want that, too, and presidents and legislators frequently call on the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and similar bodies to study controversial issues, whether to resolve or defer them.' Neutrality is something less than a virtue for public policy, however, if it leads NAS, and therefore its followers, to ignore the political and administra…

Managing economic reform: An alternative perspective on structural adjustment policies
Environmental management as behavioural policy
Environmental management means managing people, not the ecosphere. One implication of that obvious but uncomfortable fact is that the policies that are required when only a few actors are involved are different from those where mass behaviour is expected to change. Governmental influences over the “few” and the “many” are markedly different, and so are different nations' capacities to improve environmental behaviour. Industrialized countries can …

Probing managerial behavior: Image and reality in Southern Africa
How African Managers Serve Developmental Goals
Students of government are more likely than the average citizen to believe that bureaucrats serve national goals, but they have rarely attempted to document their actual contributions or to measure the salience of such efforts in comparison with other managerial functions. This paper addresses both questions, drawing on experiences with developmental goals in southern Africa. The procedure followed will be first to identify a series of potential …

Bureaucratic Politics in Southern Africa
Most of what academicians know about comes from large-scale case studies that tell us why large organizations made big mistakes: why, for example, the American military was unable to take advantage of intelligence information warning of an attack on Pearl Harbor; why missiles were not withdrawn from Turkey in accordance with a presidential order; or even why individual members of a bureaucratic organization were denied official recognition for th…
When Local Participation Helps
Programs for the delivery of public goods and services are often more effective if the public participates in their planning and execution. Not all such activities benefit from public participation, however. Activities whose effectiveness most benefits from such participation are those whose local effects are variable; those that have to be made frequently but not routinely; those that require quick responses from the public; and those whose impa…

Administration of Occupied Japan: First Year
A challenge unique in the history of military government and cultural reform came to the United States when Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945. A nation, virtually intact, was placed, inert, on the international potter's wheel, ready for remolding into democratic and peaceful patterns. A victorious general was to serve as the sculptor: he would first have to design the new model, then shape the deceptively soft ready clay

Flesh for the Bones of Principle
Nearly forty years ago, the case approach to administrative behavior was introduced into the American classroom. It is now well established there, but in other countries where the United States is extending technical assistance it has not yet been accepted. The essay below, which first appeared in the Vietnamese journal Nghien-Cuu Hanh-Chanh (Administrative Research) is an effort to clothe this new approach in respectable garb. It is perhaps not …

Crossing the Culture Bars: An Approach to the Training of American Technicians for Overseas Assignments
Some of the 25,000 American businessmen, most of the 30,000 American missionaries, and all of the 33,000 public officials working abroad have received some form of training in “overseasmanship” prior to embarking upon their careers as technical assistants. This training was not supposed to make them better managers, Christians, diplomats, or technicians, but to enhance their usefulness in a strange cultural environment. Such training may be viewe…

Cui Bono: Measuring Income-Redistribution Effects of Capital Projects
Evaluation of the income-redistributing performance of a capital project m the Third World produced evidence on four counts that the system was in fact operating to benefit rural and urban poor: (1) The management had attempted to reduce "hidden costs" otherwise borne by the poor by subsidizing the extension of services to outlying areas and by providing low-interest credit for household connections. (2) The poor were using the services as fully …
The Populist Front in Rural Development: Or Shall We Eliminate the Bureaucrats and Get on with the Job
Distrust of the bureaucracy as an instrument of progress is nothing new. But it is flourishing with extraordinary vigor in this era when little else is taken for granted. Waves of suspicion now pervade the American domestic scene; and on the international front both the World Bank and the UN specialized agencies are now encountering the same skepticism that has already overtaken the once-exuberant U.S. foreign aid program. There is a fashionable …
