| Summary, etc. |
Politics can be viewed as the search for consensus on underlying values to foster a sense of community. This search challenges contemporary political and administrative leadership because the policy process increasingly involves interactions among amorphous and unstable issue-oriented coalitions rather than a smaller number of actors with more stable and predictable roles. This article discusses politics, administration, and markets as separate ways of thinking-as decision-making perspectives-that produce a variety of expectations of accountability, often at odds. It presents a case study involving the contracting out of foster care services in Kansas to illustrate these competing perspectives and examines how market-based challenges to traditional political and administrative perspectives complicate expectations of accountability. The result is a situation in which the challenge of accommodating three cross-cutting expectations of accountability (derived from the three competing perspectives of politics, administration, and markets) makes the already complex job of public management even more difficult. - Reproduced. |
