ABSTRACT

Since the Second World War the most rapidly expanding field of professional study has been the field of human governance. I use the term because policy making, government, management and adminis­ tration are used in different senses by writers in the field, and I need a term which will comprehend the art of imposing on human affairs, whether in the public or the private sector, whatever kind and degree of order seems desirable and possible to those in seats of power.
