American Governmentality
Michel Foucault and Public Administration
R. McGREGGOR CAWLEY University of Wyoming WILLIAM CHALOUPKA University of Montana
The governing that now pervades the developed world is so omnipresent that it seems virtually natural. Administration—specific forms of rationality, authority, and participation—was, nonetheless, a development. French philosopher Michel Foucault argued that this development could be understood as "goverrunentality"—a new arrangement among sovereignty, discipline, and government that made the art of governing both thinkable and practicable. This article explores the utility of French philosopher Michel Foucault's approach within the field of public administration. Reinvestigating the works of Woodrow Wilson, Frederick Winslow Taylor; and Mary Parker Follett, we demonstrate that their approaches can be interpreted as establishing the basic contours of American govermnentality.
And if control is the process of the inter-functioning of the parts, if the most perfect control is where we have inter-functioning of all the parts, then I think the workers should have a share, not from any vague idea of democracy, not because of their "rights," but simply because if you leave out one element in a situation you will have just that much less control,
