摘要:

Abstract:Citizen involvement is regarded as a desirable component of public policy making, particularly policy in the social welfare field. This paper examines different conceptions of social welfare and different conceptions of citizen participation. Participation is a term with many shades of meaning, and policy makers should distinguish between sociotherapy, market research and citizen power, all of which come under the rubric “citizen participation”. Different conceptions of participation are appropriate in different policy circumstances and these circumstances are examined with reference to two recent Australian participatory programs in the welfare field. The paper concludes with an examination of the applicability of participation, leadership and expertise to public administration, and argues that these three values exist in a dialectical relationship and that social justice and the effectiveness of programs will be limited if too much reliance is placed on any one of these val

摘要:

Abstract:Sir Frederic Eggleston's place as a political intellectual in Australia is an established one, arising out of the framework of his political thought and administrative experiences as a Minister of the Crown in Victoria in the 1920s. For Eggleston the essence of politics lay in political ideas and philosophical debate about those beliefs. In his view Australian political life would be immensely enriched if political leaders had the freedom and leisure to discuss philosophical goals, and this could only be achieved by hiving off the day‐to‐day work of government into autonomous corporations run quietly and efficiently by responsible managers. Broad policy was a matter for legislation, while its detailed implementation was best carried out by public corporation managers, protected by the legislation from sectional electorate pressures.Although Sir Frederic found the justification for his political framework in Victoria's political and administrative circumstances at the turn of the century, when sectional pressures through the legislature brought the State to the brink of disaster and insolvency, it can also be shown that the roots of his political beliefs and administrative prescriptions reach back into his childhood and young manhood. He left the narrow confines of his church‐oriented childhood home for the wider cultural and intellectual delights of his maternal relatives' social circle in the early 1900s. a move linked in his mind with his all‐important membership of the Gladstone Debating Society. This dichotomous life experience flowed through into his political perceptions, finding substance in his notion of Parliament as a debating forum for “great men who articulate the ideas which give expression to /our culture's/ aspirations and set gsals for its activities” while for efficiency's sake, “a business service undertaken by the State must be isolated from the State”.He judged Victoria's State enterprises from this perspective. In so far as they went quietly about their business, were financially sound and did not intervene in the political arena. then they met his criteria; where they did not exercise “austerity and restraint” they suffered his criticism. There is a clear link between this judgement and his own political experience which reminds us that “politics is personal and the personal is political” is

摘要:

Abstract:In reviewing the literature on policy studies, as in studying policy making itself, what you see depends on where you look. Studies of public policy vary widely in forms, methods and rationale. This paper does not try to categorize and capture the spirit of all aspects of a diverse and burgeoning literature. Its focus is on a number of recent books that straddle broadly the categories of process and administrative studies. The questions addressed in the volumes discussed are about how institutions handle issues in public policy, their relevance to the actual content of policy, and the ways in which individuals and groups within them see and respond to opportunities for choice. Each book is concerned with questions of theory but the books do not, either singly or together, suggest a single compelling theory of institutions and policy processes. Indeed, considering their theoretical sophistication, one may doubt whether such a goal is practicable. The better the work done on policy studies the more open‐ended theoretically the field seems to b
