This work presents an approach to the study of comparative politics
that builds on the assumption that political actors and
institutions operate within constructed communities of meaning,
which in turn interface with other such communities.

A study of past and prospective business development around rail
transit stations in the Washington DC area. Washington has one of
the very few new and extensive rail transit systems in America,
although expectations of transit system-induced revitalization in
this area have not uniformly been met. This book develops an
econometric model of local development (LOCDEV) around major public
investments, applies it to the existing Washington transit system,
and uses it to forecast future development levels around new
stations. The book includes a user's guide to the LOCDEV model and
concludes with reflections on modelling and forecasting.
In Active Duty: Public Administration as Democratic Statesmanship,
a distinguished group of contributors examines the role of the
American civil service under the Constitution. The common concern
that unites the otherwise diverse approaches of the authors is the
conception of public administration as a particular form of
political activity. The contributors relate administrative issues
to the broader questions of political life, such as political
judgment and responsibility, the Constitution and
constitutionalism, and the promotion of human liberty and the
common good. They aim to encourage the administrator to become a
democratic statesman. Present and prospective American civil
servants, as well as political scientists and political
philosophers, will find this book of interest.
