Particularism
According to Farmer:
The national particularism of American public administration does have profound
disadvantages in terms of contraries and blind spots. A contrary was noted earlier
between particularism and universalism. The urge for the less bounded and the
focus on the more bounded are also contraries. Insofar as it is interpretationist,
public administration has an interest in interpretations that are as little culture
bound as possible. This interest in the intercultural is a facilitating insight. Without
the intercultural interest, for instance, insightful questions can be overlooked
