The Future Is Uncentralized
In July 1995, ASPA's Endowment Board established the Donald C. Stone Fund to honor the memory of this public administration legend. Income from this fund is used to sponsor a lecture or symposium at ASPA's national conference which reflects Stone's varied interests and contributions to the field. This year marked the fifth Donald C. Stone Lecture. On April 4, Harlan Cleveland, former ASPA National President, was ASPA's Visions 2000 Stone Lecturer…

Three Hundred Years After Newton: Science has elbowed the church aside … to become a kind of secular religion
Theses of a New Reformation: The Social Fallout of Science 300 Years after Newton
The bold political thinking that led to our Constitution 200 years ago was rooted in an even bolder leap of the human imagination just a hundred years before. That's when Isaac Newton, standing on the shoulders of Copernicus and Kepler, proposed a force of universal gravitation to explain why the planets revolved around the sun in elliptical paths. This force, he figured, loses effect with the square of the distance. That same force, he also gues…

Coherence and Consultation: The President as Manager of American Foreign Policy
Government Is Information (But Not Vice Versa)
Does the government have an policy? Should the government have an policy? The questions addle our brains and upset the conventional categories of our thinking. Information (organized data, the raw material for specialized knowledge and generalist wisdom) is now our most important, and pervasive, resource. Information work now accounts for a good deal more than half of U.S. employment, personal compensation, and the gross national product. The Uni…
The Twilight of Hierarchy: Speculations on the Global Information Society
The paper examines the consequences of the informatization of society, a term originated in France which describes what is happening to some of our key concepts and conceptions as the convergence of computers and telecommunications makes information the dominant resource in post–industrial society. The inherent characteristics of information provide some clues as to what that portends for the future. Information is expandable, is not resource–hun…
The Character of the Institution
how often political officials condemn the bureaucratic obstruction and describe the as the problem, not the solution, the public administration profession must devote its resources of intellect, energy, imagination, durability, and wit to progressive change to meet future needs. I have touched on many issues as I contemplated the future, but let me conclude with five specific areas for future action: First, there has been an absence of adequate m…

The Internationalization of Domestic Affairs
The content of "international affairs" is now mostly the "internal affairs" of still sovereign nations. The imperatives that drive this internationalization of domestic affairs are political, economic, environmental, technological and moral. Nongovernmental people and organizations have a comparative advantage in penetrating the porous membranes of national sovereignty. The governance of a world with nobody in charge seems to require nonresponsib…

LET ME identify myself, in order to identify with you. I wandered some years ago into a profession for which, because it did not seem to have a name, I have tried to popularize the term public executive. My kind of work is to bring people together in organizations to make something different happen, in the public interest. And you, the scientists of management, have enormously helped us practitioners of management. You have done your best to make…

Economics as Theory and Ideology
There is not a great deal to be said about economics which is truly universal. One can say that economics is the study of economic systems. Economic systems can be defined as systems of human actions concerned with the production and the distribution of goods and services which are scarce relative to the wants of the community. But statements of this kind, which attempt to define the economic aspect of human society in universally valid terms, ar…

The Future Role of the United States in the United Nations
The power, resources, and influence of the United States place her in the middle of whatever matters come before the United Nations. The United Nations fits into American foreign policy through four functions: as a place for direct con frontation between the great powers; as a third party to keep the great powers apart; as a third party in other people's disputes; as an agency for nation-building. Thus, the United Nations is a safety valve for in…
