| Sumario: | "Is it possible to bridge the gap between the secrecy of the state and the people who are governed? F.M. Barnard argues that mediation between people and purposes, parts and wholes, voluntariness and coercion, not only can but must occur in a fair society and outlines a range of strategies that can be used to join seemingly irreconcilable social and political contexts." "Warning specifically against official moralistic rhetoric, ignoring civic demands, and hidden acts of power by anonymous governmental bureaucracies and lobbyists, Barnard's approach blurs the boundaries between specialized fields of study, revealing the degree to which individual choice influences political force. He also shows how any attempt to achieve a balance between the state and society requires developed political judgement and a measured view of what can be politically attained and demanded."--Jacket |
