Madison's Managers

Public Administration and the Constitution

By: Anthony M. Bertelli,Laurence E. Lynn

Combining insights from traditional thought and practice and from contemporary political analysis, Madison's Managers presents a constitutional theory of public administration in the United States. Anthony Michael Bertelli and Laurence E. Lynn Jr. contend that managerial responsibility in American government depends on official respect for the separation of powers and a commitment to judgment, balance, rationality, and accountability in managerial practice. The authors argue that public management—administration by unelected officials of public agencies and activities based on authority delegated to them by policymakers—derives from the principles of American constitutionalism, articulated most clearly by James Madison. Public management is, they argue, a constitutional institution necessary to successful governance under the separation of powers. To support their argument, Bertelli and Lynn combine two intellectual traditions often regarded as antagonistic: modern political economy, which regards public administration as controlled through bargaining among the separate powers and organized interests, and traditional public administration, which emphasizes the responsible implementation of policies established by legislatures and elected executives while respecting the procedural and substantive rights enforced by the courts. These literatures are mutually reinforcing, the authors argue, because both feature the role of constitutional principles in public management. Madison's Managers challenges public management scholars and professionals to recognize that the legitimacy and future of public administration depend on its constitutional foundations and their specific implications for managerial practice.

Public Management

Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions

By: Carolyn J. Hill,Laurence E. Lynn Jr

Managing in the public sector requires an understanding of the interaction between three distinct dimensions—administrative structures, organizational cultures, and the skills of individual managers. Public managers must produce results that citizens and their representatives expect from their government while fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities. In Public Management: Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions, authors Carolyn J. Hill and Laurence E. Lynn, Jr. argue that one-size-fits-all approaches are inadequate for dealing with the distinctive challenges that public managers face. Drawing on both theory and detailed case studies of actual practice, the authors show how public management that is based on applying a three-dimensional analytic framework—structure, culture, and craft—to specific management problems is the most effective way to improve the performance of America’s unique scheme of governance in accordance with the rule of law. The book educates readers to be informed citizens and prepares students to participate as professionals in the world of public management.

English Convents in Exile, 1600-1800, Part I, vol 3

By: Caroline Bowden,Laurence Lux-Sterritt,Nicky Hallett,Elizabeth Perry,Victoria Van Hyning

Between 1600 and 1800 around 4,000 Catholic women left England for a life of exile in the convents of France, Flanders, Portugal and America. These closed communities offered religious contemplation and safety, but also provided an environment of concentrated female intellectualism. The nuns’ writings from this time form a unique resource.

The Long Spring

Tracking the Arrival of Spring Through Europe

By: Laurence Rose

One man tracks the arrival of spring north through Europe from southern Spain to the Arctic Circle. Exploring Europe's remarkable heritage of exceptional places and the wildlife, traditions and people associated with them, in February 2016 Laurence Rose crossed the Mediterranean from North Africa and set off on a series of journeys northwards towards the Arctic coast of Norway, all the while keeping pace with the arrival of spring. Like a modern-day pilgrimage, he is accompanied by fellow wayfarers, migrating swallows and cranes and later, wild swans and eagles. He witnesses the awakening of a continent from its winter slumber and encounters new behaviours, such as storks that no longer migrate, exploring how they link to climate change. From Spain, Laurence headed north through France and Britain. Crossing over to Sweden, Finland and Norway, he ended his travels four months later as the long Arctic days stretched into continuous daylight. In The Long Spring, Laurence evokes the landscapes, sounds and colours of the continent at its most vibrant. And as a lifelong naturalist, his journeys tracking the world's most significant and beautiful phenomenon – spring – were a chance to explore the past, present and future of our connections to nature, reflecting on three decades of work and travel in Europe and his own long relationship with wildlife.

How Philosophy Became Socratic

A Study of Plato's "Protagoras," "Charmides," and "Republic"

By: Laurence Lampert

Plato’s dialogues show Socrates at different ages, beginning when he was about nineteen and already deeply immersed in philosophy and ending with his execution five decades later. By presenting his model philosopher across a fifty-year span of his life, Plato leads his readers to wonder: does that time period correspond to the development of Socrates’ thought? In this magisterial investigation of the evolution of Socrates’ philosophy, Laurence Lampert answers in the affirmative. The chronological route that Plato maps for us, Lampert argues, reveals the enduring record of philosophy as it gradually took the form that came to dominate the life of the mind in the West. The reader accompanies Socrates as he breaks with the century-old tradition of philosophy, turns to his own path, gradually enters into a deeper understanding of nature and human nature, and discovers the successful way to transmit his wisdom to the wider world. Focusing on the final and most prominent step in that process and offering detailed textual analysis of Plato’s Protagoras, Charmides, and Republic, How Philosophy Became Socratic charts Socrates’ gradual discovery of a proper politics to shelter and advance philosophy.

Miss Cyclone

By: Laurence Peyrin

Cette femme est une surdouée ! Une merveilleuse raconteuse d'histoire qui nous plonge avec subtilité et tendresse dans le monde des femmes." Gérard Collard, La Griffe Noire Coney Island, là où New York se jette dans la mer, est un endroit enchanteur l’été, avec sa fête foraine légendaire, et fantomatique l’hiver quand les manèges sont à l’arrêt. C’est là qu’Angela et June, 16 ans, ont grandi ensemble. Deux jeunes filles vives et joyeuses, que rien ne destinait à s’entendre, et que rien ne peut séparer. Mais une nuit, la nuit où toute la jeunesse new-yorkaise pleure la mort de John Lennon, leur vie prend un tour inattendu : Angela, par un mélange de fatalisme et d’innocence, accepte de son petit ami ce qu’elle ne voulait pas vraiment. Parce qu’elle n’ose pas en parler à June, son silence devient un secret... Et leur destin à toutes les deux en sera changé à jamais. Une amitié indéfectible vibrant au rythme de New York, la ville où bat le coeur du monde. L'histoire ciselée et envoûtante du chemin parcouru par Angela et June pour se construire une belle vie. Journaliste de presse pendant vingt ans, Laurence Peyrin se consacre désormais à l’écriture. La Drôle de vie de Zelda Zonk, son premier roman, a reçu le prix Maison de la Presse en 2015.
