Postmodern Public Policy introduces new ways of investigating the
urgent difficulties confronting the public sector. The second half
of the twentieth century saw approaches to public administration,
public policy, and public management dominated by
technical-instrumental thought that aspired to neutrality,
objectivity, and managerialism. This form of social science has
contributed to a public sector where policy debates have been
reduced to "bumper-sticker" slogans, a citizenry largely alienated
and distant from government, and analysis that ignores history and
context and eschews the lived experiences of actual people. Hugh T.
Miller brings together the latest thinking from epistemology,
evolutionary theory, and discourse theory in an accessible and
useful manner to emphasize how a postmodern approach offers the
possibility of well-considered, pragmatic solutions grounded in
political pluralism and social interaction between public service
professionals and community members.
