The parallel universes - Pragmatism and public administration

The new scholarship on pragmatism and public administration bears properties reminiscent of speculative philosophy It proposes that pragmatism and public administration have historically existed in parallel universes. The articles written by Keith E Snider and Karen G. Evans outline holy pragmatism and public administration developed along parallel courses with minimal interchange between these two bodies of thought. However, they differ on whether these two bodies of thought should be fused. Evans argues for an immediate merger whereas Snider is more cautious. The issue effusion is a serious issue for the field and deserves careful consideration.
