?:abstract
  • 'For Public Service' is an important book. With their focus on the rationale of the State, the authors address what is needed to be a good public servant. Since New Public Management became omnipresent, they see reason to do so. Its 'market-mimicking' has turned public servants from role-bound personae into individuals, at the expense of attention to due process. More generally, a widespread anti-étatism has neglected the requirements inherent to acting on behalf of the state in an official capacity. Instead, the authors want to offer a positive account of the state. In their venture in political realism, they go far, adopting a relativist stance towards the impact of a humanist universalism. The authors emphasize structural elements but seem to ignore the politics of the state in action. Dilemmas of conduct in the practice of public office-holding need attention too. For instance, how are public servants to deal with discriminatory political directives? (xsd:string)
