Bearfield Challenges Beliefs 

Dr. Domonic Bearfield's new book examines the concept of bureaucratic neutrality in American public administration. It argues that many of the concepts and practices that emerged to combat discrimination and corruption in the public sector reinforce existing hierarchies. Continued belief in the myth of bureaucratic neutrality has significantly slowed progress toward greater equality for women, minorities, and other marginalized groups. Bureaucratic neutrality establishes the idea that the public sector is guided by rules and norms giving people a sense of fairness, legitimacy, and competency.

Cover of Dr. Redburn's book 'the politics of fiscal responsibility'
Redburn's Expertise on Fiscal Politics 
Dr. Steve Redburn's book discusses how, in the wake of the financial shock in 2008, the European Community’s member states imposed on themselves an austere regime of fiscal targets and enforcement procedures to control deficits and debt. Results of a decade of fiscal austerity were less than impressive. Based on this, readers are asked whether the U.S. has properly defined fiscal policy targets and what should be our fiscal strategy.
