Stefan Machura - Böcker

First published in 1997, this volume explores how procedural justice, the fairness of the way decisions are reached, is an important factor in human behaviour. In this book we see the ways that it is important for the legitimacy of a political rule as well as for the acceptance of administrative decisions. The volume also deals with the interrelation between procedural and distributive justice and helps to identify criteria of procedural justice.This book provides a long-desired overview of the multidisciplinary and international discussion of procedural justice. It deals with social psychological insight and empirical studies as well as with the contributions of discourse and systems theories. The books contributors also trace the roots of the present discussion to philosophical predecessors as well as formulate consequences for politics.

Stefan Machura prasentiert eine Einfuhrung in die Verwaltungswissenschaft, die primar die inhaltliche Verknupfung mit der Politikwissenschaft sucht. Er beginnt mit einleitenden Ausfuhrungen zum Begriff der Verwaltung und zur Verwaltungswissenschaft. Das Thema "Politik und Verwaltung" wird ausgefullt u.a. mit Ausfuhrungen zum Anteil der Verwaltung an der Gesetzgebung und zur Art und Weise, wie verwaltungspolitische Weichenstellungen fallen. Die Implementation von Neuerungen und die Reaktionen von Beteiligten werden beobachtet. Die Beitrage decken somit den Zyklus der Verwaltungspolitik ab. Behandelt wird ausserdem die Eroberung neuer Tatigkeitsfelder einerseits, die Privatisierung und public private partnership andererseits. Das Verhaltnis von Burgern und Verwaltung, aber auch von Offentlichkeit und Medien zur Verwaltung wird einbezogen.
