Practicing knowledge-agency in highly vulnerable communities
Knowledge-agency represents the skills and cognitive understandings that frontline workers acquire and practice in governing populations. Using an abductive approach, this paper explores how diverse expressions of knowledge shape frontline workers' encounters with diverse people and places in stressful contexts. Analysing interviews with 98 frontline workers from four different policy domains serving the same communities in Brazil, we found three…
Punishing the Poor
Social policy, from schools to income support and criminal justice, has taken a disciplinary turn. It is as if we have collectively decided we can punish our way out of inequality and injustice and “getting tough on ‘fill-in-the-blank social problem’” has become our only mode of policy governance. This essay reviews three recently published books that examine this trend: Poor Justice: How the Poor Fare in the Courts, by Vicki Lens (New York: Oxfo…

Message in a Bottle
Janet Golden, Message in a Bottle: The Making of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome , Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2005. Pp. 240. £16.95. ISBN 0–674–01485–5. For generations women have been drinking alcohol while pregnant. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, physicians prescribed ale, sparkling wine, brandy and other alcohol-based tonics (but not degenerate gin) for all sorts of pregnancy-related discomforts and maladies. We now know…
Cops, Teachers, Counselors
Whether on a patrol beat, in social service offices, or in public school classrooms, street-level workers continually confront rules in relation to their own beliefs about the people they encounter. Cops, Teachers, Counselors is the first major study of street-level bureaucracy to rely on storytelling. Steven Maynard-Moody and Michael Musheno collect the stories told by these workers in order to analyze the ways that they ascribe identities to th…
Policy Analysis in the Post-Positivist Era
Administration as Policy Making
Theories of the Local Welfare Role
This article investigates four competing explanations of variation in the extent of local governments' welfare activity: a need responsiveness explanation, a fiscal capacity explanation, a crimeoriented version of social disturbance theory, and a community homogeneity thesis. Using census data for a national sample of U.S. cities in 1977, the analysis shows that, once the powerful effects of intergovernmental influence and functional scope are ta…

Steven Maynard-Moody, Michael Musheno, Dennis Palumbo, Street-Wise Social Policy: Resolving the Dilemma of Street-Level Influence and Successful Implementation, The Western Political Quarterly, Vol. 43, No. 4 (Dec., 1990), pp. 833-848
Policy as Communication and the Naturalistic Study of the Use of Policy Research
This article explores several ideas about naturalistic studies of the uses of policy research. The central thesis of this article is that naturalistic research is well suited to several important questions about the use of policy analysis. Policy analysis is a form of organizational communication. In particular, it is a form of argumentation and story-telling that occurs within the existing processes of influence and sense making in or ganization…
Beyond Implementation
The ghost of the politics-administration dichotomy haunts implementation theory. After all the critiques, administrative policy making is still seen as a component or step in the policy process that is dominated by elected officials. For example, Kelman recently examined the different institutional settings of policy making.1 Elected officials, in his view, are and should remain the primary source of policy ideas and choices with administrators, …
The ritual of reorganization in a public bureaucracy
Weeding an Old Garden
Currently the conceptual status of organizational goals is uncertain. The organizational goal construct has been the brunt of numerous criticisms and is left out of several major contemporary perspectives on organizations. Building on the insights of the critics of the traditional goal construct, this article argues that goals have an important place in the analysis and management of organizations. Goals are viewed from a behavioral perspective a…
Reorganization as Status Drama
establishing organizational cultures, and the impact of sagas and myths on structure.3 Consultants have watched their carefully designed interventions founder on unspoken assumptions. They have devised diagnostic culture audits and culture-gap profiles to guide their actions.4 Bureaucrats and executives act as tribal leaders; they tell stories, repeat myths, and stage rites and ceremonials.5
Reconsidering Charity
This article argues that concepts useful in examining for-profit organizations are frequently misapplied in evaluating human service organizations. The assumption of most program evaluators that human service organizations are purposive rather than expressions of social values may encourage service organizations to become rigid, narrow, inefficient, and costly. It is suggested that evaluators should emphasize appreciation, avoid allocation and pe…
