Case Study Analysis of Hermeneutic Boundary Spanning During Policy Change and Transition
Working through a lens of administrative governance, hermeneutics, and boundary spanning, we spent 18 months studying the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund (OCTF) as it began its transition from a county to a regional funding model. Using observations and interviews of regional directors and administrative teams, we were interested in learning more about the role of boundary spanning and hermeneutics during the transition process. In other words, attemp…
Adopting Integrative Governance in the Midst of Democratic Uncertainty
Change Calls Upon Public Administrators to Act, But in What Way? Exploring Administration as a Platform for Governance
An economy based on open and loose networks with information and big data platforms designed for sharing and hacking is being thrust upon us. How might this impact the way we govern and how administrative work gets done? When addressing public issues, administrators have always faced complexities of governance, including divergent structures and procedures. These are most apparent when administrators experience slippage among groups and between s…
Dementors Circling Higher Education: Countering the Administrative Mood ( Stimmung ) of Empirical Science
Maurice Merleau-Ponty was concerned with our tendency to place greater value on numbers than they ought to have, and in response called for science to return to the “soil” (Merleau-Ponty, 1964 Merleau-Ponty, M. (1964). “Eye and Mind.” In Primacy of perception: and other essays on phenomenological psychology, the philosophy of art, history and politics. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press. [Google Scholar]) . Other thinkers like Follett, A…
Loose Governance in Action: Tinkering Around in a Shrinking City
Eva Sørensen noted that “liberty is a way of governing not an opposing concept.” This is a powerful statement for public administration to contemplate as American society drifts further toward networked governance approaches. This article considers the role of public administration in community economic development projects when tinkering around with new ideas in legacy cities. Focusing on a worker-owned cooperative case in Cleveland, Ohio, we us…
From Grout to Grip: Intentionality and the Freedom to Gain a Feel for the Work
This article explores the different understandings of intentionality as applied to the San Francisco cable car transportation employees. We argue that part of doing work requires a person to act and choose, meaning foreclosing on some possibilities while attending to others as an intentional expression of freedom. We draw a parallel between cable car operators and public administrators and suggest that each has to do more than just learn a set of…
Trial by Space: Articulating Value in the Context of a Shrinking City
Successfully guiding the transition of space within shrinking cities presents a challenge to public administrators, urban designers, and planners faced with developing policies and practices to cope with declining conditions. This project examines a particular site, “The Flats,” the waterfront area of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, and asks how assumptions about desirable uses have shifted over time. Henry Lefebvre’s notion of “trial by s…
The phenomenology of sharing: Social media networking, asserting, and telling
This article takes up the current promise of computer‐aided social networks as mechanisms for sharing in experiences. The author examines social networks phenomenologically, not merely as a tool for providing information and shaping what we think but as a social construct for what can be shared, how we think, and what can be known. The analysis identifies a connection between social networks and artificial intelligence systems, while also suggest…

Chains of Freedom: A View from Erich Fromm on Individuality Within Organizations
Do individuals have freedom or are they free? This project utilizes phenomenology and Erich Fromm's concepts of having and being to explore the issue of awareness through the lens of individuals working in public and private organizations. It argues that awareness of freedom is not only structurally constrained within organizations, but serves to conflate a way of being. Further, it suggests, individuals, and especially societal leaders, have a r…
Disturbance, Coping, and Innovation: A Phenomenology of Terror
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 …
Leadership Matters: So Does the Attitude of the Leader
The article focuses on the role of a leader in promoting an environmental management system in organizations. Corporate environmental entrepreneurs have the capability of influencing their companies for participating in voluntary environmental management improvements. By providing explicit support to voluntary programs the evolution of environmental entrepreneurship within organizations can be encouraged. Regulatory coercive approaches are found …
