The State As a Work of Art
Conditions for Social Responsibility
This article explores the relationship between cultural integrity, diversity, and social responsibility. The obligations and opportunities of responsible citizenship in a complex diverse society pose a difficult political issue that modern societies scarcely recognize. It is not clear, the article concludes, how large and diverse a society can become and yet remain sufficiently cohesive to behave responsibly by any meaningful standard
Environmental Policy as a Political Problem
The politics of the environment may not be unique, but they present some distinctive characteristics. In undertaking policy analyses and administrative strategies an appreciation of concepts, assumptions and circumstances, and underlying environmental policy issues is needed. To ignore these fundamentals is to risk superficiality in analysis, and error in findings and conclusions. Yet getting down to basics is often rejected as diversion from the…
Tom Wiegele
Among the founders of our interdisciplinary field of inquiry, Tom Wiegele was preeminent. He was the catalyst in drawing together in a collegial association the many of us who, from different backgrounds, had come to see the unfolding social implications of advances in the life sciences for both public policy and the study of politics. He possessed a combination of leadership skills in both concepts and organization that is rarely found in academ…
Globalizing environmentalism
Sociologist Robert Nisbet conjectured that “when the history of the twentieth century is finally written, the single most important social movement of the period will be judged to be environmentalism”; (1982, p. 10). This assessment has been reinforced by subsequent events. Environmental concern has risen to the top of political agendas in the United States and many other countries, becoming a major consideration in international relations. A maj…

Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA)
The technique of environmental impact analysis (EIA) was developed initially in the United States in response to a requirement of the National 15nvironmental Policy Act of 1969. Now adopted with variations in at least 3 0 countries antf by the European Community, EIA has proved to be a va1ua't)le component of a group of related techniques for discovering and projectirig the probable consequences of proposed action. In pursuit of iriprovenicnt in …
Biotechnology, Public Policy, and the Social Sciences
Science-based biotechnology is now introducing fundamental changes in the status of life on earth which have major implications for human society, yet the social sciences are largely failing to address these changes. Biotechnology offers immense opportunities for advancing the quality of human life, holding promise for overcoming numerous and heretofore intractable causes of suffering and impoverishment. Moreover, it may enable mankind to enjoy t…

Land Use Policy as an International Issue
Land use is not an end in itself; it is a means to the realization of a broad range of human objectives – social, economic and political. Few public issues appear to be more strictly national. In environment‐related United Nations conferences, Third World representatives in particular have asserted the absolute control of nations over their land and natural resources. Nevertheless, international concern over land use has been growing. This concer…

Beyond the Scope of the Article
Immigration and Naturalization Service. This was Richard J. Stillman's item on Bureaucracy Problem at DOJ. The author points up a number of areas needing attention, and his suggested remedies have merit. Heavy workloads at INS and DEA impair effectiveness of these divisions. A recent news item states that Center for National Security Studies urges abolition of agency as ineffective, referring to LEAA. If reducing crime is an aim of this division,…
Energy and the structure of social institutions
Environmental Orientations
A new approach to social ecology is offered which attempts to integrate a variety of theories, each of which approaches the problem of man's relationship to his environment from a different perspective. It is postulated that man refers to the environment to achieve not one, but a multiplicity of purposes. To each purpose corresponds a type of environmental orientation. Four such orientations are distinguished: the instrumental, the territorial, t…

Science and the National Environmental Policy Act
Authority and Responsibility for Environmental Administration
Authority and responsibility for ecologically sound policies for man-environment relationships are confused by the lag between the changing circumstances of man-on- earth and his assumptions, behavior patterns, and institutions. In the United States, many attitudes which were hitherto feasible have now become harmful. Sanctification of political forms and unrealistic appraisals of the tendencies of techno logical society severely handicap present…
Technical Assistance and Administrative Reform in Colombia
A public administrative system is the product of its environment-particularly of its political environment. It is not discrete, but is an aspect of this same environment, affecting and affected by the tendencies of the society of which it is a part. In the rapidly changing present, the complex of social pressures and tensions have created over large areas of the globe an unsettled environment for public service. At a time when effective public ad…

Energy and Environment
Public policies for energy and its environmental impact cannot be developed solely upon the bases of scientific and technical knowledge. Ad hoc and improvising measures to cope with energy problems have often induced as many difficulties as they have resolved. Policies based on present patterns of social behavior may prove ineffectual or un necessarily destructive to the environment if major changes in either energy supply or social values occur …

Environmental Quality as an Administrative Problem
The basic task of protection and control of environmental quality involves the integration of man's arti ficial and managed systems with the evolved systems of the natural world. Imbalances and incongruities among these systems are the underlying causes of resource depletion, pollution, and qualitative deterioration of the environment. The essential purpose of environmental administration is therefore to obtain a synthesis of artificial and natur…

Strengthening State Legislatures
Declining prestige of legislative bodies has recently prompted inquiries looking to self-appraisal and reform in Congress and in legislatures of a number of the states. Dissatisfaction with the traditional organization and procedure of state legislatures has grown among legislators, who undertake the perplexities of present-day law-making with inadequate assistance and ineffective machinery. Legislation was seldom a simple problem, but it is toda…
Perfecting State Administration, 1940-46
G ENERALIZATIONS with respect to the forty-eight states are almost always hazardous, but there seems today to be general agreement that the position of the states in the federal union has been markedly strengthened during the past decade. During the depression years of the thirties, the prestige of state government sank as federal authority expanded and state governors and legislators turned to Washington for instruction and assistance. The furth…

The Role of the Technical Expert
Insofar as we can realistically speak of an ex pert's "role" it is shaped by four principal elements, only one of which can be relied upon to approximate constancy. These elements are the technical co-operation agency, the expert himself, the requirements of the task to be fulfilled, and the host government. Each of these elements is subject to varia tions and contradictions that make it improbable that a gen erally satisfactory definition of the…

Managing the Scientific Super-Culture
HE UNFOLDING of history has thrust upon l this generation the test of ability to control the forces of science and technology that human ingenuity has liberated. To be sure, man's capacity for survival has always been tested by inimical forces in his environment. Through genetic selection and cultural adaptation man has shown capacity to cope with the hazards of nature. His ability to manage the power that he is now releasing has yet to be demons…

Management of Resources and the Environment
Organization and administration are ob viously important to any public effort, but they are especially critical in relation to prob lems of the environment. These problems are characteristically complex and dynamic, do not conform to the boundaries of political jurisdictions, and pervade all levels of human organization — national, local, regional, and international. Environmental problems iden tified at any one of these levels seldom can be succ…
