- Title
Lindblom, Wildavsky and the Role of Support.
- Authors
Spread, Patrick
- Abstract
Lindblom's and Wildavsky's central concern with the relationship between intellectual matters and government is discussed in terms of a theory of support bargaining. The pursuit of support is held to dictate both the emergence of ideas and the process of government. Any independence of intellectual ideas from social advancement is seen as attained by structuring of the support-bargaining process to make ‘fact-forming’ groups in some degree independent of those who use the facts. Lindblom's and Wildavsky's theories concerning budget strategies, incrementalism and policy analysis are considered in relation to the theory of support bargaining.
