Discourse Theories on Administration - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 160 Administration/Discourse theories/Bohman: as Habermas puts it, administrators 'cannot avoid appealing to normative reasons when implementing legal imperatives', so these processes must occur within procedures that pass the test of constitutional legitimacy and lead to the 'democratization of administration' (1996(1): 440) by discursive means. Similar sorts of considerations might apply to other forms of non-democratic social authority, such as the authority of medical researchers that has been recently challenged by AIDS activists who sought to directly influence the practice of medical experi- mentation (Epstein, 1996)(2). VsTradition: these collaborative processes could certainly be fruitfully applied to deliberative processes within other institutions of the constitutional state, making them all potentially more 'directly deliberative' than the two-track solution to size and complexity permits (Dorf and Sabel, 1998)(3). >Institutions/Discourse theories, >Deliberative democracy/Discourse theories, >Deliberative democray. 1.
