Historical Note
The Good Society grew out of the same intellectual impulses that created its parent organization PEGS (the Committee on the Political Economy of the Good Society). As the founders of both entities understood the condition of the social sciences at that time, the split between empirical analysis and normative argument was impoverishing both. The empiricists had no reliable guides to determine what was worth studying, and as a result we got endless…
The Good Society
Political Theory and Political Economy
This article describes the connection between political theory and political economy. It argues that political theorists need to take account of political economy in theorizing about the contemporary world because capitalism is the most powerful force at work in shaping the modern sociopolitical world. It also explains that economic questions concerning economic growth, the distribution of wealth and income, and role of markets are at the core of…

Contempt of Congress
What kind of crisis was the Iran-Contra affair7 Does it betoken an on-going constitutional crisis? Most interpreters of the affair have contended that what was at stake were the constitutional prerogatives of the President and Congress. Depending on their allegiances, they have argued either that the Congress overstepped its constitutional boundaries in an attempt to control foreign affairs, or that the President overreached himself in trying to …
Citizenship and Constitutionalism in Post-Communist Regimes
The recent events in Eastern Europe, and, for a brief moment, those last spring in China are initial steps in what may be the birth of stable democratic regimes. We are witnessing the early stages of great dramas in which whole peoples attempt to give shape to their political lives. These are the high moments of politics, an outpouring of energy from which enduring political institutions of popular control may be born. These are also times of eno…
A China Witness
In the seven weeks from later April to early June China has displayed to the world—and to itself—politics at its best and worst. It is in the comparison of the two that the true horror of what has occurred can be seen. The worst is easy to specify. It is the massacre of unarmed civilians by soldiers who have been called on to defend those reluctant to give up power, and to aid them in a struggle with other leaders who would displace them. Politic…

Regulation and Regime
Two frameworks for understanding the debate on regulation are discussed. In the first, an economizing perspective, various institutional arrangements are seen as instruments and the question posed is which is the most efficient in achieving public objectives. The second, a political perspective, begins from economizers' lack of interest in the basic organizing principles of the political structure within which the choice of regulatory arrangement…

Twentieth Century Urban Regimes
There have been important continuities in the political character of American cities over the course of the twentieth century. Cities have also varied in the manner in which their politics have been organized. A useful vehicle for understanding both continuities and variations in city politics is the concept of an urban regime. A variety of regimes can be distinguished which enable us to interpret the course of urban politics in the twentieth cen…
Democracy and Deliberation
Economic & Political Rationality
An economizing view of rationality values institutions on the basis of their ability to achieve given ends most effectively. Objections to this view have been inconclusive, and economizers continue to flourish. Stephen Elkin argues that a compelling critique must also offer an alternative view of rationality in public affairs. The elucidation of such an alternative-political rationality-is Professor Elkin's undertaking here

Lima, Peru, has no city government, the central city being divided into several municipalities including a portion governed by Lima Province. Similarly, Valencia, Venezuela is largely governed by a variety of central government agencies over which the local authority exercises limited influence. In contrast, Zagreb, Yugoslavia has a metropolitan area government which can vote its own budgets, pass laws and establish agencies without central contr…

Pluralism in Its Place
The Democratic State
One outcome of the declining economic growth and rising political conflict of the 1980s has been a renewed interest in political theory and increased questioning about the durability of the capitalist state. More and more political scientists are critically assessing the prevailing pluralist vision of the relationships between the state and the economy. Is the capitalist state able to adjust to crises and contradictions? What is the role of the s…

The Public Life of Economic Incentives
Many current proposals for policy reform call for the use of economic incentives. The growing application of economic incentives in a number of policy areas necessitates continuing critical examination of the claims for and the criticisms of their use. Early empirical evidence on the implementation of incentive schemes serves to shed light on the validity of some of the supporting and opposing arguments. By continuing the assessment of the viabil…
