Public administration needs a critical, self-conscious, epistemology in order to be useful. This epistemology must be grounded in an ethic. An appropriate epistemology will focus on classifications, forecasts and theories. Case studies are a useful technique for approaching these matters, but interpretation of cases must be grounded in an understanding of the public interest, not just the interest of specific policy-makers
