The argument is made that a shift has occurred in the way that Habemas conceptualizes public administration - a shift that makes it possible to see both the plausibility and necessity of a deliberative democratic form of state administration. shown is how Habermas's later democratic theory can be used as a resource for those defending the administrative discretion necessary to create a collaborative government with citizens. - Reproduced.
