AN ARENDTIAN EVALUATION ON PARTICIPATION AND REPRESENTATION FROM A GOOD GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE : AN ASSESSMENT ON DEMOCRATIZATION AND PUBLIC POLICY

39704

This work aims to elaborate on the nexus between democratization and public policy from the perspective of Hannah Arendt, one of the most prominent respectable names of contemporary political theory. Given the impact of liberal democracies’ inherent tensions between notions of administrative state and political action within their public administration schemes, the proposed work targets to gain an understanding of how the terms such as participation and representation can be conceived from an Arendtian perspective of ‘good government’. Entailing an account of what Arendt has to offer for the public policy as a sub-field and public administration as a field, the analysis will underline the necessity that Arendtian reading of policy in modern times shifts from the question of representation in the public policy making to the exchange of opinions and judgment in the phases of public policy implementation.
