Cultural Analysis: Politics, Public Law, and Administration: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Cultural Analysis: Politics, Public Law, and Administration" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As a result of a lifetime of incomparably wide-ranging investigations, Aaron Wildavsky concluded that politics in the United States and elsewhere was a patterned activity, exhibiting recurring regularities. Political values, beliefs, and institutions were neither endlessly varied, nor haphazardly organized. They tended to exhibit a limited range of variation, and were organized in discoverable, predictable ways. In Cultural Analysis, the fourth collection of his essays posthumously published by Transaction, Wildavsky argues that American politics, public law, and public administration are the contested terrain of rival, inescapable political cultures.Analysts of American politics distinguish liberals from conservatives and Democrats from Republicans, but do not explain how these categories of political allegiance develop, maintain themselves, or change. Wildavsky offers a cultural-functional explanation for ideological and partisan coherence and realignment. Wildavsky also felt that these dualisms did not adequately capture the ideological and partisan variation he observed on the political landscape. Like others, he detected another recurring strain of political allegiance: that of classical liberalism or libertarianism. People of this political stripe valued freedom more than equality (the primary political value of contemporary liberals), and also more than order, the primary political value of conservatives.The value of Wildavskys reconceptualization of the ideological and social foundations of political conflict, compromise, and coalition is assessed here by Wildavskys former colleagues and students at the University of California, Berkeley: Dennis Coyle, Richard Ellis, Robert Kagan, Austin Ranney, and Brendon Swedlow.

No one labored longer and harder than Aaron Wildavsky to make this fourth volume of his posthumously published papers possible. With the exception of two co-authored chapters, he wrote all of the pieces and, shortly before his untimely death in 1993, selected the papers to be included here. Thankfully, with this work, he is with us still.
More recently, Wildavskys widow, Mary Wildavsky, created, and James Tansey, finalized, the updated bibliography of cultural theory applications, critiques, and reviews included with this volume. This bibliography lists not only Wildavskys work, but that of dozens of other scholars, many of whom helped provide the citations found there. Many thanks to all of you!
Wildavskys former colleagues, Robert Kagan and Austin Ranney, and students, Dennis Coyle and Richard Ellis, at the University of California, Berkeley, performed the great service of providing insightful, substantive introductions for essays covering three disciplinary subfields and other aspects of academic life. All readers are indebted to you, including, especially, me.
For unwavering commitment to this enterprise, Irving Louis Horowitz, Mary Curtis, and Laurence Mintz at Transaction Publishers have no equal. In the twelve years since Wildavskys death, they have seen to publication four new collections of Wildavskys papers, with a fifth to come, have re-issued new editions of other of Wildavskys works, and keep a number of others in print. Thanks for your steadfast support and guidance.
Most of the heavy lifting on this volume was done at the Survey Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley in the first couple of years after Wildavskys death. During that time, Wildavsky long-serving administrative assistant, the late Doris Patton, tracked down original manuscripts, obtained permissions to re-publish, cleaned-up the considerable typographical errors introduced by first-generation scanning technology, converted endnotes to a common citation format, and re-integrated them with the manuscripts for all four volumes.
Sasha Dolbrovsky, Janna Israel, Elise Knowles, and Jamie Molden of Berkeleys Odin Corporation did the tedious scanning or redigitalization of these collections. Wildavskys colleagues Henry Brady and Percy Tannenbaum oversaw production of these volumes, including my work and that of my co-editors on the other volumes, David Schleicher and Sun-Ki Chai. Many thanks again to all of you!
The editorial work on this volume was supported in its initial phase by grants from the Bradley, Earhart, and Smith Richardson Foundations. At the time of his death, Aaron Wildavsky held the Class of 1940 Chair in Political Science and Public Policy at Berkeley, which also contributed support for his continuing work, as did the Survey Research Center, his main workspace on the Berkeley campus from 1979 until his death.
More recently, my wife, Chandra Hunter Swedlow; my family and friends, Duke Universitys Center for Environmental Solutions, and my colleagues in political science at Northern Illinois University have supported my editorial work finalizing this volume. Many, many thanks to all of you as well.
Finally, many thanks to the these publishers for giving permission to re-publish Wildavskys work in this collection:
