Reflections on Theory in Action Transformational Public Service Revisited: Possibilities for Changing the Discipline
This article revisits the thesis of our 2005 book Transformational Public Service and responds to the question of what it takes to change the discipline by applying Emile Durkheim's notion of "collective effervescence" through means of empathy and transformational practices of institutions. We can enlarge the field of public administration to overcome its continued fixation on a narrowly managerial approach and find new ways to transform an other…

Colleen Jollie, State Tribal Liaison: A Story of Transformational Change
Colleen Jollie, the state tribal liaison at the Washington State Department of Transportation, practices a form of transformational public administration that, at its heart, reflects a Coyote or “trickster” style of management. In indigenous stories across the world, the trickster uses his or her wiles to disrupt, refuse, and dismantle ways that are not working in order to creatively, and sometimes chaotically, build new ways. Jollie’s work as le…

The challenge to improve citizen participation in public budgeting: A discussion

Active citizen participation provides valuable comments and insight as well as complexity…

The “T”ruth Is Elsewhere: Critical History
This essay begins by deconstructing the basic question of how the present is defined in traditional historical explanation or analysis. It is our contention that to “rewrite” the present, one must be critical, examining the assumptions and methods behind historical “data” to identify what might be missed-whose stories are silenced-when theorists rely upon only the “great stories” of past events or “great men,” and to reveal metanarratives of hist…

Talking Beyond the Rational
Although discourse theorists have deconstructed Western rationality and rejected objectivism and analytical means, the critique of the rational in discourse theories often does not go far enough. Discourse theories that remain wedded to instrumental action (good means ensure good ends) and continue to ignore the nonrational (emotions, bias, ideology, money, or power) do not offer a vision of public space that is open and inclusive. An alternative…
Circa 1999: The Possibilities for Community and Democracy
There is a large movement in contemporary public administration and political science calling for a return to civic democracy and for the democratizing of public administration. What is assumed in these calls to civic democracy is that civic community and active, discursive citizenship are possible in the current political economy. It is argued here that the possibilities for citizenship and community are significantly constrained in the current …

Practical Theory
The supposed dichotomy between theory and practice is, like other dichotomies we have known, a false one. It is rooted in a paradigm in which theory is conceptualized as lawlike generalizations that cumulatively constitute an ever-growing body of knowledge. Practitioners/experts are supposedly then able to improve managerial effectiveness by applying such knowledge to practice. When public administration theory fails to produce relevant law like …
