On Rekindling the Light of Public Space
The Is, The Ought, and The Moral Dialectic of Public Service
It was an irony that surely would not have been lost on Richard Rorty, whose recent passing was being memorialized at time. The crowd that packed a Stanford University auditorium strained to make out just bits and pieces of a speech by Jurgen Habermas, man who gave us very notion of ideal speech situation, but whose speech impediment, issues of electronic amplification, and bit of a German ac cent rendered his speech virtually indecipherable to a…
Rethinking Governance and Bureaucracy: Down with the King
Can a Social Vision be Compelling Without Being Oppressive? On PAT-Net's Potential for Diverting the Public Administration Mainstream
This paper argues that the ascendancy of neo-conservative social vision in the United States stems in significant part from the failure of its critics to lay out a compelling alternative.

It argu…

It suggests that the problems apparently associated…
Participative Democracy and the Transformation of the Citizen: Some Intersections of Feminist, Postmodernist, and Critical Thought
When understood as a public act of participation rather than solely as a private act of voting, political activity may be regarded either as an instrumental process in the pursuit of public ends or as a transformative process that fosters citizen development. In seeking to develop a discursive theory of governance, Fox and Miller have built especially on the notions of participative political process developed by Jürgen Habermas but, although the…
