Discretion and the Quest for Controlled Freedom
Editat de Tony Evans, Peter Hupeen Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2020
Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However, empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control across social and political practices and in different contexts. As this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.

Recenzii
“[This book] achieve a wide arrays of objectives: providing valuable analytical lenses to investigate administrative phenomena … inspiring both new research by scholars and novel ways for practitioners to conceive of their role; and, last but not least, reminding us how fascinating administrative studies can be, and how much better, more informed and insightful, public debates would be if these issues were to become part and parcel of an informed discussion. [This book] … will contribute potently to the field of public administration.” (Edoardo Ongaro, International Review of Public Administration, November 25, 2020)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
‘This is an essential compendium for scholars and practitioners who seek to understand the role of discretion as a fundamental element of laws, rules, and social norms. Scholarly perspectives and practical insights are enriched through consideration of the exercise, limits, and abuse of discretion in governing, organizations, and professional practice. The distinguished set of authors makes this an impressive undertaking.’–Peter J. May, Donald R. Matthews Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Washington, USA
‘This volume addresses some of the very important practice dilemmas for professionals in our time. It provides a road map for navigating the contours of working the spaces between the restrictions of rules and the responsiveness to people in shifting contexts. It gives us hope and ways to move forward. A must-read for every professional.’
–Jan Fook, Professor and Chair, Department of Social Work, University of Vermont, USA
Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However, empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control across social and political practices and in different contexts. As this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.
