Reshaping Government: Possibilities and Perils - Ungoverning and the Politics of Chaos: Can We Still Make Our Constitution Work? | 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
Just weeks before the 2024 presidential election, the Princeton University Press published Ungoverning: The Attack on the Administrative State and the Politics of Chaos, which was co-authored by Professor Muirhead and Professor Nancy L. Rosenblum, the Senator Joseph Clark Professor of Ethics in Politics and Governance Emerita at Harvard. In the preface to their book, the authors stated, “We were drawn to this project because of our appreciation for the vital work of public administration. We call the willful destruction of state capacity ungoverning. We name it, diagnose it, spell out how it works and what it portends, and recommend what needs to be done.”
Their preface also contained the following warning, “Defeating ungoverning is more than the work of one election. It will require rehabilitating the administrative state in the minds of citizens. It will require re-creating a partisanship that contests rival approaches to governing rather than a partisanship that contests whether government should have the capacity to govern. And it will require a nation that is alert to the peril of personal rule.”
Guest Speaker:
Russell Muirhead, Robert Clements Professor of Democracy and Politics - Dartmouth; Co-Director, Political Economy Project; Author.
This program has been approved by the PA CLE board for one hour of substantive credit. The cost to attend is $30. Free for Pitt Law students, faculty, staff, and those not seeking CLE credit.
