The great relevance of Max Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy for understanding modern public administration is insufficiently acknowledged. Critical examination of the claims made to support "new conventional wisdoms" in the study of public administration reveals a remarkable similarity in the arguments made against Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy. The currently fashionable public-values approaches replicate neoliberal arguments that downplay bureaucracy to conquer a place in the field. Such dogmatism leads to neglect of the ways in which modern Herrschaft (domination) affects individual freedom. This article clarifies how the relationship between Herrschaft and individual freedom is central to Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy and how this perspective is still useful to understand mo...
This paper is about ideas and views of professionals in the field of academic administrative leadership. It is concerned about general philosophical positions of faculty members and administrators concerning students' general education, information, intelligence, communication, and critical thinking abilities. In addition, it analyzes the main objectives of higher educational leadership models within the boundaries of democracy and multiculturacy in relationships with the interest of stakeholders. Within this domain of thinking, this paper is fully devoted to a comparative study of two types academic leaderships: (1) kakistocracy and (2) bureaucracy. Kakistocracy means "government by the worst administrators and/or management by the least able and disqualified figureheads." Within the n...

While A Democracy of Distinction offers a substantial contribution to scholarship on Aristotle's political thought, Frank's final chapter, "The Polity of Friendship," leaves the reader wanting more. Arrival at this final chapter, however, leaves one hoping for reflection on the bigger picture of how this contribution to Aristotle scholarship fits into contemporary political philosophy as a whole.

The White House Office is so large and complex that a systematic process of policy evaluation is essential in order to provide the president with a range of options on all important policy decisions. Some of the most important decisions that President George W. Bush made in his first term were taken without the benefit of broad deliberation within the White House or cabinet. This article will take up four cases of policy decisions to illustrate the lack of a regular policy process and consultation that characterized many important decisions of the Bush administration. Two focus on detainee policy: the military commissions order of November 13, 2001, and the February 7, 2002, decision to suspend the Geneva Conventions. And two are about the war in Iraq: the initial decision to go to war ...
