摘要:

新公共行政在公共行政学科史中具有重要地位。传统观点认为“社会公平”是新公共行政的核心主张,但这一观点遮蔽了新公共行政的复杂演变。第一届明诺布鲁克会议在“重构公共行政”的导向下提出了多元理论主张,此次会议上被提出的新公共行政因而具有鲜明的开放性和反叛性。但在会议后,新公共行政逐渐成为一个所指模糊的概念,学界未能就其确切内涵达成共识。为扩大新公共行政的影响力,弗雷德里克森将“社会公平”锚定为新公共行政的核心主张,实现了对新公共行政的正统建构。但这一正统建构未能涵盖第一届明诺布鲁克会议上的大部分主张,实际上制造出“两个新公共行政”的分化格局:第一届明诺布鲁克会议上的新公共行政是反叛传统公共行政的“新的公共行政”,而正统“新公共行政”则是围绕“社会公平”进行叙事且指涉清晰的体系。“两个新公共行政”是第一届明诺布鲁克会议的历史遗产,对其加以揭示有助于更全面地理解新公共行政的发展演进,也是对学科史关键细节偏差的修正。

Abstract:

New Public Administration is an important milestone in the development of public administration. According to the conventional view, H. George Frederickson is the representative figure of New Public Administration, and social equity is its core proposition. This view, however, obscures a more complex picture of the evolution of New Public Administration. Under the orientation of “ reconstructing public administration,” participants at the First Minnowbrook Conference advanced diverse theoretical propositions. The New Public Administration proposed at this conference was thus marked by a strong sense of openness and rebellion. During the conference, some participants, including Frederickson, discussed whether there existed a New Public Administration and what its key elements might be, while some other scholars showed little interest in this topic. After the conference, New Public Administration generated heated discussion, yet scholars failed to reach a consensus on its exact meaning. As a result, New Public Administration became a concept with an ambiguous referent.To expand the influence of New Public Administration, it was necessary to construct an orthodox interpretation of it. Since the idea of social equity had broad intellectual origins, responded to social realities, and accorded with Frederickson.s own theoretical preferences, Frederickson anchored social equity as the core proposition of New Public Administration and thereby completed its orthodox construction. This interpretation, however, could not cover most of the propositions advanced at the First Minnowbrook Conference. In effect, it produced the differentiation between two versions of New Public Administration: the New Public Administration at the First Minnowbrook Conference was a “new Public Administration” that rebelled against traditional public administration, while the orthodox “New Public Administration” developed into a theoretical system with a clear referent through a narrative centered on social equity.In terms of subsequent development, the theoretical propositions of the “new Public Administration” were obscured. Young scholars dissatisfied with this situation gathered around the Public Administration Theory Network, while the orthodox “ New Public Administration” became widely disseminated despite persistent criticism. Two versions of New Public Administration constitute the historical legacy of the First Minnowbrook Conference. Revealing this legacy helps provide a fuller understanding of the development and evolution of New Public Administration, and also corrects key details in the intellectual history of the discipline. At the same time, the differentiation between two versions of New Public Administration suggests that public administration should take inclusiveness as an important principle. The discipline should avoid using mainstream theories to exclude or obscure alternative theories and ideas that challenge the mainstream, and should promote dialogue, exchange, and mutual learning among different theories.

(1)值得一提的是,齐姆林笔下的新公共行政与弗雷德里克森的正统建构高度一致,他同样强调应当将公共官僚机构作为实现社会正义和公平的工具,新公共行政应被界定为摆脱价值中立、直接面向社会正义的学术转向。一个可能的解释是,二人在弗雷德里克森于南加州大学读博期间的合作与交流,使二人共享了研究议题与方法,并形成了相似的学术与道德关切。

(2)该学者的观点引自论文集中“适应能力与组织发展”的Editorial Note部分,出自明诺布鲁克会议上的讨论,但论文集中并未指出该学者的具体身份。

(1)该论文集的副标题为“明诺布鲁克传统论文集”,并未采用与第一届明诺布鲁克会议论文集类似的“明诺布鲁克观点”表述。这正体现了“新的公共行政”学者们对第一届明诺布鲁克会议后正统“新公共行政”的不满,因为前者认为,弗雷德里克森等人偏离了真正的“明诺布鲁克观点”,应延续第一届明诺布鲁克会议体现出的开放性、反叛性的“传统”,因此将论文集副标题命名为“明诺布鲁克传统论文集”。
