摘 要: 西方国家的公共行政是在一个自由—民主的社会背景中运作的,这种社会背景塑造了公共服务的研究者与实践者的角色与工作。最近几十年,形成于这种社会背景中的价值观逐渐地成为"倒退性的":强调扩张性、前现代信念、视经济为自在目的、极大的社会差距以及视地球为商业活动的资源库。与之相对比的是"进步性"价值观:与替代性选择合作、了解替代性选择、对替代性选择开放、视经济为手段、有限不平等、视地球为受保护的家园。对倒退性价值观的强调,在美国尤其明显,这一点可以用来解释现象的本质。本文探讨了公共行政学者反击倒退性价值观蔓延、促进进步性价值观实施的可能性。 Public administration in Western nations functions within a liberal-democratic societal context that shapes the roles and work of public service academicians and practitioners.In recent decades,values enacted in the societal context have increasingly been 'regressive',emphasizing aggressiveness,pre-modern belief,economics as an end in itself,great soical inequality,and Earth as a resource pool for business activities.This is in contrast to 'progressive' values of cooperation,knowledge and openness to alternatives,economics as means,limited inequality,and Earth as a home to be protected.The emphasis on regressive values is particularly apparent in the United States,which may be used to illustrate the nature of the phenomenon.This paper discusses the potential for public administration academicians to counter the spread of regressive values and encourage enactment of progressive values.
