Abstract

The public administration is in a state of change and is confronted with ever new challenges. To cope with that it seems appropriate to incorporate new theories into the field of administrative science. Accordingly, two theory offers from the social sciences are used, the Actor-Network-Theory as well as the Sociology of Conventions, and their utility and limits for public administration theory are examined. The aim is to inaugurate a pragmatic theoretical enrichment for the administration and to show how application-oriented science of public administration can benefit from such a theoretical offer.
