Item Description:Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-112) and index
The principle of the universal applicability of rules and laws that has held sway in Western civilization since the French Revolution, according to Miller (public administration, Florida Atlantic U.) does nothing more than rule a situation and insist on a conformance that distances us from the legal-rational democracy to which it gives rise. Applying the insights of postmodern philosophy to public policy, he contends, can bring back context and history to a bottom-up policy discourse that privileges experience, local knowledge, and local constituencies.
