  1. Το Φαινόμενο της Καστάνιας ως Συστημική Παγίδευση: Ένα Ενοποιημένο Πλαίσιο για την Δημόσια Διοίκηση.K. Grigoriadis & Georgios Triantafyllidis - unknown - Studies in Philosophy and Social Science 1.
    Το φαινόμενο της καστάνιας αποτελεί μια θεωρητικά κατακερματισμένη έννοια στη δημόσια διοίκηση, η οποία αναφέρεται είτε στη μακρο-ιστορική, καθοδηγούμενη από κρίσεις, διόγκωση του κράτους είτε στη μικρο-συμπεριφορική, στρατηγική υποαπόδοση. Το παρόν άρθρο καλύπτει αυτό το κενό αναπτύσσοντας ένα ενοποιημένο, πολυεπίπεδο πλαίσιο. Μέσω της θεματικής ανάλυσης 88 άρθρων, εντοπίζουμε μια θεμελιώδη αρχή «ασύμμετρης παγίωσης» (asymmetric lock-in) που διέπει το φαινόμενο. Προτείνουμε το «Μοντέλο της Συστημικής Παγίδευσης», υποστηρίζοντας ότι η Μακρο-Καστάνια της κρατικής επέκτασης και η Μικρο-Καστάνια της στρατηγικής αδράνειας συνδέονται θεωρητικά μέσω (...)

  2. Two (Lay) Dogmas on Externalities.Vaughn Bryan Baltzly - forthcoming - Public Choice.
    I argue that much current thinking on externalities—at least among “lay political economists” (but even, on occasion, among professional economists)—is saddled with two analytical errors. The first is what I call coextensivism: the conflation of public goods and externalities. The second error is what I call externality profligacy: the conflation of economic and “social” externalities. The principal dangers presented by these two “dogmas on externalities” are that, while in their grips, we are under-disposed to seek negotiated, market-based solutions (of a (...)

    We propose a new single-winner voting system using ranked ballots: Stable Voting. The motivating principle of Stable Voting is that if a candidate A would win without another candidate B in the election, and A beats B in a head-to-head majority comparison, then A should still win in the election with B included (unless there is another candidate A' who has the same kind of claim to winning, in which case a tiebreaker may choose between such candidates). We call this (...)

Alternative prescriptive measure like critical discourse analysis have been proposed as a means to the cutting head development in bridging the gap between orthodox and heterodox views of economic sciences investigations.

  6. Beyond the Brink: Diagnosing Tipping Points in Public Administration – An Integrated Framework of Systemic Entrapment, Organizational Inertia, and Cognitive Capture. [REVIEW]K. Grigoriadis - 2026 - Social Philosophy and Policy 3.
    The concept of the tipping point, which describes abrupt and non-linear changes in complex systems, is gaining increasing importance in public administration. However, the relevant academic literature remains fragmented, examining the phenomenon through isolated lenses of system dynamics, governance, or conceptual framing, which hinders a holistic understanding. This article bridges this gap by synthesizing these different approaches through a narrative literature review. As its main contribution, it develops the "Integrated Tipping Point Governance Framework", a new multi-level diagnostic model. The framework (...)

    Η δημόσια διοίκηση συχνά εγκλωβίζεται σε αυτό που θα μπορούσαμε να ονομάσουμε «παγίδες ισότητας». Πρόκειται για συστημικές παθογένειες όπου οι ίδιοι οι διοικητικοί μηχανισμοί, χωρίς πρόθεση, καταλήγουν να αναπαράγουν τις ανισότητες που υποτίθεται ότι έχουν σχεδιαστεί για να αντιμετωπίσουν. Ενώ η ακαδημαϊκή βιβλιογραφία έχει διαγνώσει εκτενώς το φαινόμενο και έχει αναλύσει τους μηχανισμούς που το προκαλούν, παραμένει προσκολλημένη σε στατικά, περιγραφικά μοντέλα. Δηλαδή, σε μοντέλα που απλώς φωτογραφίζουν την κατάσταση χωρίς να προσφέρουν ένα συνεκτικό πλαίσιο για την ενεργό αποφυγή και (...)

    Η παρούσα συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας εξετάζει το διαχρονικό πρόβλημα της τραγωδίας των κοινών στο πεδίο της δημόσιας διοίκησης. Μέσα από τη συνθετική αξιοποίηση εργαλείων θεσμικής διάγνωσης και οργανωσιακής ανάλυσης, η μελέτη αποδομεί την παραδοσιακή, και εν τέλει ψευδή, διχοτομία μεταξύ κεντρικού κρατικού ελέγχου και τοπικής αυτοδιαχείρισης.

Για να καλύψει αυτό το κενό, το άρθρο αναπτύσσει ένα συνθετικό εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο που (...)

  9. Governance on the Edge: An Integrated Framework for Managing Tipping Points in Public Administration. [REVIEW]K. Grigoriadis - 2026 - Public Affairs Quarterly 2.
    The concept of the "tipping point," a critical threshold where a minor change precipitates a disproportionately large and often irreversible systemic shift, has become increasingly central to public administration. However, the academic literature reveals a fundamental conceptual dichotomy, analyzing tipping points either as external threats to be averted or as internal opportunities to be leveraged. This article contributes a novel conceptual framework derived from a Structured Literature Review (SLR) that systematically synthesizes the literature to resolve this tension. By analyzing the (...)

  10. From Pressures to Practice: A Dynamic Mediation Framework for Street-Level Bureaucracy.K. Grigoriadis - 2026 - Res Publica 1.
    Despite its foundational importance to public administration, the study of street-level bureaucracy is marked by a persistent theoretical fragmentation, often isolating the bureaucrat's individual agency from the contextual pressures they face. This article bridges this divide through a structured narrative review and thematic analysis of 94 scholarly articles. We develop and propose the Integrated Framework of Dynamic Interplay, a new conceptual model that synthesizes these disparate approaches. The framework posits a three-level dynamic process where environmental drivers (e.g., resource scarcity, digitalization) (...)

  11. The Architecture of the Common Good: Reframing the Tragedy of the Commons in Public Administration.K. Grigoriadis & Georgios Poutouridis - 2026 - Public Affairs Quarterly 1.
    This systematic literature review examines the long-standing problem of the tragedy of the commons within the field of public administration. Through a synthetic evaluation of institutional diagnostic and organizational analysis tools, this study deconstructs the traditional dichotomy between centralized state control and local self-governance. The findings reveal a critical interpretive gap: the lack of a coherent theoretical framework for the active, architectural role of the state. To fill this gap, the article develops a synthetic conceptual framework that redefines public administration (...)

    Η παρούσα μελέτη ανατέμνει το αποκαλούμενο «πρόβλημα των πολλών χεριών» (problem of many hands) στη σύγχρονη δημόσια διοίκηση μέσα από μια θεωρητική ανασκόπηση.

Η πολυπλοκότητα αυτή χαρακτηρίζεται από δικτυακές δομές, ιδιωτικοποιήσεις και αλγοριθμική λήψη αποφάσεων που καθιστούν τον εντοπισμό ενός υπεύθυνου δράστη σχεδόν αδύνατο.

    Η βιβλιογραφία της δημόσιας διοίκησης παρουσιάζει έναν θεωρητικό δυϊσμό αναφορικά με τους βρόχους θετικής ανατροφοδότησης, αντιμετωπίζοντάς τους είτε ως οιονεί ντετερμινιστικές παγίδες (όπως η εξάρτηση από τη διαδρομή) είτε ως εύπλαστα στρατηγικά εργαλεία.

    Virginia Political Economy is characterized by a distinctive public choice analysis of the pathologies in existing political institutions and the constitutional political economy approach to reforming institutions. Unfortunately, the extent to which public choice is correct in its assessment of existing institutions, it will thereby render the recommendations of constitutional political economy harder to reach. Thus, in virtue of this meta-problem, Virginia Political Economy risks concluding in its own irrelevance. I consider and reject some possible answers to this meta-problem, before (...)

    Η διάχυτη τάση της καταστροφολογίας γύρω από την Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη (ΤΝ) αποτελεί σημαντικό εμπόδιο για την ορθολογική αξιοποίησή της, ιδίως στον ευαίσθητο τομέα της Δημόσιας Διοίκησης.

Εξετάζονται οι ψυχολογικοί, κοινωνικοί και επικοινωνιακοί παράγοντες που τροφοδοτούν την καταστροφολογία, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του ρόλου των ΜΜΕ και της έλλειψης "γραμματισμού στην ΤΝ" (AI Literacy).

    Οι γραφειοκράτες του δρόμου (street-level bureaucrats), ως οι de facto διαμορφωτές της δημόσιας πολιτικής, αντιμετωπίζουν έντονο στρες που πηγάζει τόσο από τις ασκούμενες πολιτικές όσο και από τις απαιτήσεις των πολιτών, αναπτύσσοντας ένα ευρύ φάσμα μηχανισμών αντιμετώπισης.

    Το φαινόμενο Dunning-Kruger περιγράφει την παράδοξη γνωστική προκατάληψη όπου άτομα με χαμηλό επίπεδο ικανότητας σε έναν τομέα όχι μόνο αποτυγχάνουν να αποδώσουν, αλλά αδυνατούν μεταγνωσιακά να αναγνωρίσουν την ανεπάρκειά τους, με αποτέλεσμα να τρέφουν μια αδικαιολόγητη και συχνά επικίνδυνη αυτοπεποίθηση.

The book compares two prominent, albeit mutually exclusive, theories in social sciences—public interest theory and public choice theory—and explores how their predictions perform within the framework of the Covid-19 pandemic. The chapters present different pandemic policies alongside empirical data in order to draw conclusions about their efficacy, and, in turn, draw conclusions about the veracity of each theory.

    During the Covid-19 pandemic, public policy was not driven by findings from public health research, but by politicians’ desire to pursue their own interests. The media and politicians inflamed mass hysteria and then imposed ill-considered lockdowns to “solve” the problem. Lockdowns not only failed to protect those at risk from the virus, but also caused enormous collateral damage. Public choice theory helps explaining this decision-making. -/- .

    Proponents of the public goods argument ('PGA') seek to ground the authority of the state on its putative indispensability as a means of providing public goods. But many of the things we take to be public goods – including many of the goods commonly invoked in support of the PGA – are actually what we might term publicized goods. A publicized good is any whose ‘public’ character results only from a policy decision to make some good freely and universally available. (...)

    In a number of works, James M. Buchanan set out a proposal for a ‘demogrant’— a form of universal basic income that applied the principles of generality and non discrimination to the tax and the transfer sides of the scheme and was to be implemented as a constitutional rule outside the realm of day-to-day politics. The demogrant has received surprisingly little scholarly attention, but this article locates it in Buchanan’s broader constitutional political economy project and shows it was a logical (...)

    Democratic institutions are appealing means of making publicly justified social choices. By allowing participation by all citizens, democracy can accommodate diversity among citizens, and by considering the perspectives of all, via ballots or debate, democratic results can approximate what the balance of reasons favors. I consider whether, and under what conditions, democratic institutions might reliably make publicly justified social decisions. I argue that conventional accounts of democracy, constituted by voting or deliberation, are unlikely to be effective public justification mechanisms. I (...)

We then go on to discuss Charles Plott’s seminal experimental work on the topic that sparked a wave of public choice experimental work. However, given Plott’s claims that Buchanan influenced him significantly, it is puzzling that his work with Morris Fiorina explores a question outside of those which Buchanan and Tullock found interesting. We suggest several ways to resolve this tension. Our (...)

    The social welfare functional approach to social choice theory fails to distinguish a genuine change in individual well-beings from a merely representational change due to the use of different measurement scales. A generalization of the concept of a social welfare functional is introduced that explicitly takes account of the scales that are used to measure well-beings so as to distinguish between these two kinds of changes. This generalization of the standard theoretical framework results in a more satisfactory formulation of welfarism, (...)

The term was originally introduced by Thorstein Veblen to describe developments in the discipline (of which Veblen did not entirely approve) associated with the work of such figures as William Jevons, Carl Menger, and Leon Walras. The ambition of these figures, the first neoclassicists, was to formalize and mathematize the subject (...)

Today the original paper clearly illustrates how considerably our views and theories about free banking have evolved in the past 50 years. This development is to a considerable extent the result of the work and the writings of economists of the Austrian School. Pascal Salin is one of the most prominent members of the (...)

The particular themes addressed in this volume include: the measurement of diversity and freedom, formal analysis of individual rights and intentions, judgment aggregation under constraints and strategic manipulation in (...)

Liberal theorists of negative freedom have generally taken the view that the desire of a person to do or not do something is irrelevant to the question of whether he is free to do it. Supporters of the “pure negative” conception of freedom have advocated this view in its starkest form: they maintain that a person is unfree to Φ if and only if he is prevented from Φ-ing by (...)

    We consider a decision board with representatives who vote on proposals on behalf of their constituencies. We look for decision rules that realize utilitarian and (welfarist) egalitarian ideals. We set up a simple model and obtain roughly the following results. If the interests of people from the same constituency are uncorrelated, then a weighted rule with square root weights does best in terms of both ideals. If there are perfect correlations, then the utilitarian ideal requires proportional weights, whereas the egalitarian (...)

  37. A representation theorem for voting with logical consequences.Peter Gärdenfors - 2006 - Economics and Philosophy 22 (2):181-190.
    This paper concerns voting with logical consequences, which means that anybody voting for an alternative x should vote for the logical consequences of x as well. Similarly, the social choice set is also supposed to be closed under logical consequences. The central result of the paper is that, given a set of fairly natural conditions, the only social choice functions that satisfy social logical closure are oligarchic (where a subset of the voters are decisive for the social choice). The set (...)

  38. The ethics of incentives: Historical origins and contemporary understandings.Ruth W. Grant - 2002 - Economics and Philosophy 18 (1):111-139.
    Increasingly in the modern world, incentives are becoming the tool we reach for when we wish to bring about change. In government, in education, in health care, between and within institutions of all sorts, incentives are offered to steer people's choices in certain directions. But despite the increasing interest in ethics and economics, the ethics of the use of incentives has raised very little concern. From a certain point of view, this is not surprising. When incentives are viewed from the (...)

    This paper is about the relevance, to the definition of freedom, of values or goods other than freedom. In this respect,its subject matter is not at all new. However, I do believe that new light can be thrown on the nature of this relationship by paying more attention to another relationship – one which exists within the concept of freedom itself. There are two senses in which we can be said to possess freedom. Firstly, there is the sense in which (...)

  42. The Moral Justification of Benefit/Cost Analysis.Donald C. Hubin - 1994 - Economics and Philosophy 10 (2):169-194.
    Benefit/cost analysis is a technique for evaluating programs, procedures, and actions; it is not a moral theory. There is significant controversy over the moral justification of benefit/cost analysis. When a procedure for evaluating social policy is challenged on moral grounds, defenders frequently seek a justification by construing the procedure as the practical embodiment of a correct moral theory. This has the apparent advantage of avoiding difficult empirical questions concerning such matters as the consequences of using the procedure. So, for example, (...)

  43. Hands invisible and intangible.Geoffrey Brennan & Philip Pettit - 1993 - Synthese 94 (2):191-225.
    The notion of a spontaneous social order, an order in human affairs which operates without the intervention of any directly ordering mind, has a natural fascination for social and political theorists. This paper provides a taxonomy under which there are two broadly contrasting sorts of spontaneous social order. One is the familiar invisible hand; the other is an arrangement that we describe as the intangible hand. The paper is designed to serve two main purposes. First, to provide a pure account (...)

  44. Is Individual Choice Less Problematic than Collective Choice?Gregory S. Kavka - 1991 - Economics and Philosophy 7 (2):143-165.
    It is commonplace to suppose that the theory of individual rational choice is considerably less problematic than the theory of collective rational choice. In particular, it is often assumed by philosophers, economists, and other social scientists that an individual's choices among outcomes accurately reflect that individual's underlying preferences or values. Further, it is now well known that if an individual's choices among outcomes satisfy certain plausible axioms of rationality or consistency, that individual's choice-behavior can be interpreted as maximizing expected utility (...)

    The Scylla and Charybdis of institutions of cooperative enterprises are the potential for free riders, on the one hand, and the fact that some people may not value certain public goods. If we go to the one side, we encourage people who do value the public goods but whom cannot be excluded from enjoying them, to refuse to pay their share of the costs of providing them; if we go to the other side and force everyone to pay for them, (...)

  47. The Structural Impossibility of Global Financial Stability.Wangius Wangius - manuscript
    This paper is Part I of a two-paper sequence. -/- Part I (this paper): Theorem — The Structural Impossibility of Global Financial Stability Part II (companion paper): Explanation — The Structural Necessity of Financial Crises -/- Abstract -/- Financial crises are commonly interpreted as episodic deviations caused by regulatory failures, distorted incentives, or inappropriate model assumptions. Such interpretations, however, rest on an implicit premise: that long-run financial stability is, in principle, attainable under sufficiently well-designed institutions and policy frameworks. -/- This (...)
