Building on Barry Bozeman's classic Bureaucracy and Red Tape, this
book provides the most comprehensive treatment available of red
tape research and theory, with new chapters that focus on the
recent work on red tape research that has burgeoned in the fields
of public managment, public administration, and public policy.
Economic individualism and market-based values dominate today's
policymaking and public management circles - often at the expense
of the common good. In his new book, Barry Bozeman demonstrates the
continuing need for public interest theory in government. "Public
Values and Public Interest" offers a direct theoretical challenge
to the "utility of economic individualism," the prevailing
political theory in the western world. The book's arguments are
steeped in a practical and practicable theory that advances public
interest as a viable and important measure in any analysis of
policy or public administration. According to Bozeman, public
interest theory offers a dynamic and flexible approach that easily
adapts to changing situations and balances today's market-driven
attitudes with the concepts of common good advocated by Aristotle,
Saint Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, and John Dewey. In constructing
the case for adopting a new governmental paradigm based on what he
terms "managing publicness," Bozeman demonstrates why economic
indices alone fail to adequately value social choice in many cases.
He explores the implications of privatization of a wide array of
governmental services - among them Social Security, defense,
prisons, and water supplies. Bozeman constructs analyses from both
perspectives in an extended study of genetically modified crops to
compare the policy outcomes using different core values and
questions the public value of engaging in the practice solely for
the sake of cheaper food. Thoughtful, challenging, and timely,
"Public Values and Public Interest" shows how the quest for
fairness can once again play a full part in public policy debates
and public administration.
