Abstract:The Neo-Weberian State, Professor dr. Bouckaert observes, includes a ‘logic of appropriateness’ in its whole-of-government approach. This re-thinking points toward enriching state bureaucracy to include democratic practices not only surrounding, but within the bureaucracy. An illustration is the Community Health Center program in the United States. Additional food for thought comes from the recent symposium, ‘Reappraising Bureaucracy in the 21st Century,’ sponsored by Perspectives on Public Management and Governance (PPMG).
