Leopards in the temple :  bureaucracy and the limits of the in-between  

 - Thousand Oaks :  SAGE,  November 1997 
<br/><br/> This article examines a core problematic of bureaucracy. It suggests that the study of bureaucracy should make a clearer non bureaucratic turn, focusing appropriately on what is described as the in-between. Analysis of structural limits of the in-between-hierarchy and lateralization-should center on the nonbureaucratic. Structure is not the central issue. Rather, structure is a surrogate for competing manifest and latent nonbureaucratic perspectives. Hierarchy is a surrogate not only for a rational order of justice but also for the feasibility of epistemological certainty. Lateralization is a surrogate not only for human autonomy but also for skepticism and hesitation in knowing. The study of bureaucracy cannot be limited satisfactorily to "bureaucratic man. " Rather; humans are irreducibly bio-psychospirituo-social-cultural beings
