Chapter 4 documents the conceptual territory at the interface of public administration and public choice and puts the Ostromian contribution in an interpretive context that anchors it in the intellectual history of public administration. Identifying areas of convergence and affinities between the two intellectual domains, it charts the ground opened by the Ostroms’ work, an ambitious attempt to blend the two traditions and to create a conceptual framework for a distinctive type of public administration: democratic public administration. The seeing-like-a-state perspective in public administration is openly challenged by the seeing-like-a-citizen alternative, in a field that was anyway trying to unshackle itself from the inherent statism of its Wilsonian progressive legacy.

The Way

Public administration is not a field whose intellectual history is well developed. Partly this is a problem of scale: compared to economics or political science, there are fewer people engaged in the field and interested in its evolution. Partly, though, it is a consequence of the way in which the intellectual history of the field has traditionally been approached. The author discusses the reasons why we ought to put more history into the intellectual history of public administration.

The subject of this research is the history and conceptual framework of Tyumen ethical-philosophical intellectual tradition. In the introductory part, the following research positions are substantiated: 1) formulation of the essence of problem, which consists in the absence of research on the regional intellectual traditions of Russia; 2) demarcation of the concepts of “intellectual tradition” and “research tradition”; 3)outlining the research objective, which lies in examination of history and conceptual framework of Tyumen ethical-philosophical tradition, creation of a specific  field of research for the Russian regional intellectual traditions; 4) description of the theoretical-methodological research apparatus based on the approaches and methods characteristic to the interdisciplinary research direction of intellectual history, which is relevant in modern Russian science. The novelty of this work lies in the attempt to create a specific field of research dedicated to studying the Russian regional intellectual traditions. The first part of the article traces the history of establishment of Tyumen ethical-philosophical tradition, analyzes a particular ethical situation of industrial development of North Siberia, which unfolded in the late XX century and gave rise to this intellectual tradition. The second part of the article explicates the key ideas underlying the conceptual framework of Tyumen ethical-philosophical intellectual tradition (personalism, rationalism, praxeology),  and reveals the specificity of interpretation of these ideas by its representatives. In conclusion, it is claimed that the study of regional intellectual traditions contributes to broadening the existing ideas on the intellectual potential of Russia and growing spurts of human capital in the country. Such research a particularly important for Tyumen Region, as they demonstrate that this region is rich not only in natural resources, by intellectual resources as well.

The changed conception of conversation that emerged by c.1700 was about to expand its scope enormously – to the broad culture of Enlightenment Europe, to the fine arts, to philosophy and into the broad political world, both via the conception of public opinion and via the constitutional thought of James Madison (1751–1836). In the Enlightenment, the early modern conception of conversation would expand into a whole wing of Enlightenment thought. The intellectual history of the heirs of Cicero and Petrarch would become the practice of millions and the constitutional architecture of a great republic....

During the colonial period in India, European scholars, British officials, and elite Indian intellectuals—philologists, administrators, doctors, ethnologists, sociologists, and social critics—deployed ideas about sexuality to understand modern Indian society. This book shows how deviant female sexuality, particularly the concept of the prostitute, became foundational to this knowledge project and became the primary way to think and write about Indian society. The book reveals that deviant female sexuality was critical to debates about social progress and exclusion, caste domination, marriage, widowhood and inheritance, women's performance, the trafficking of girls, abortion and infanticide, industrial and domestic labor, indentured servitude, and ideologies about the dangers of Muslim sexuality. British authorities and Indian intellectuals used the concept of the prostitute to argue for the dramatic reorganization of modern Indian society around Hindu monogamy. The book demonstrates how the intellectual history of modern social thought is based in a dangerous civilizational logic built on the control and erasure of women's sexuality. This logic continues to hold sway in present-day South Asia and the postcolonial world. Reframing the prostitute as a concept, the book overturns long-established notions of how to write the history of modern social thought in colonial India, and opens up new approaches for the global history of sexuality.
