Professor Christopher Hood has just been given the 2011 William E. Mosher and the Frederick C. Mosher Award for his article Can We? Administrative Limits Revisited by The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA).
Christophers article addresses questions such as: What are the effective limits of taxable capacity in the modern state, as debt-ridden governments seek to reduce debt levels and budget deficits after the financial crashes and economic recession of the late 2000s? What are the limits of safety and security that can be realistically achieved by administrative structures and procedures in a so-called risk society? What are the limits to the achievement of ambitious social engineering to improve the human lot by conventional organizations and bureaucracies?
