“…It was from this tradition that the author developed his methodological proposal called ‘sociological reduction’: not a naÏve, epistemic nationalism that rejected the outside, but the ‘critical assimilation of the foreign sociological patrimony’ (1965, pp. 14–15; see also Azevêdo and Albernaz 2006, pp. 504–5; Ventriss and Candler 2005, pp.…”

One can imagine two futures for public administration, public management and public service around the world. A first would be what we see as a continuation of the status quo: with public administration essentially continuing as a series of national discourses, with perhaps a bit of cross‐fertilization, but with this characterized by a classic core‐periphery model. The preferable model, outlined in this paper, would see the development of an integrated community of scholars of public affairs. At least three hurdles need to be overcome to arrive at this integrated community. A first concerns the tension in the periphery between an epistemic nationalism and epistemic colonialism. The second hurdle to be overcome concerns the central role of the American literature in intellectual discourse in public administration. A third hurdle is more specific to public administration: what Canadian Iain Gow has referred to as public administration's profile, as ‘une science empirique par excellence’.

“…One of the earliest criticisms of this nascent movement was offered by Alberto Guerreiro Ramos. Ramos echoed concerns of others that modern organization was distorting the human psyche (see Azevêdo & Albernaz, 2006), but the target of Ramos's criticism was especially the introduction of economic influences in organization theory. Ramos offered his Theory of Social Systems Delimitation both as a conceptual tool for understanding the impact of modern organization on the human being, and as a mechanism for limiting its negative impact on public affairs.…”

Guerreiro Ramos's theoretical work on the Parenthetical Man (Azevêdo & Albernaz, 2006) emphasizes the importance of a multicentric society to realize human multi-dimensionality; and specifically his Theory of Social Systems Delimitation provides a conceptual framework for understanding this multicentric society. The theory and practice of public administration has subsequently recognized the importance of multiple social sectors in the delivery of public goods. This paper will especially highlight what the subsequent theory and practice of public administration has not addressed: the importance of multiple settings in which humans can realize personal fulfillment, and enjoy (non-economic) human associated life.

Este artículo analiza la esencia de la obra de Alberto Guerreiro-Ramos en el marco del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano en los estudios de la administración. Se analizan sus propuestas básicas desde la perspectiva de la utopía, comprendida como una investigación sistemática de principios alternativos de organización distintos a la forma empresarial funcionalista. Se exploran conceptos como de la reducción sociológica, el hombre parentético y la teoría de la delimitación de los sistemas sociales desde un enfoque de las perspectivas utópicas; esto es, la reformulación de las estructuras y dinámicas sociales propuestas por Guerreiro-Ramos como alternativas al ethos del mercado. Asimismo se explica cómo la dinámica y acción recíproca entre la sociedad y los ámbitos organizacionales permiten imaginar alternativas para la emancipación, la búsqueda de la razón sustantiva y la realización plena del ser humano.
