This in turn allows the administrator to fully place the needs of the community first and arrive at more appropriate solutions to problems. The research found that contracting from a pragmatic approach can relieve public administrators of their ideological bases, allowing them to approach problems more objectively. The research further applied these pragmatic principles using a case study method with the City of Austin, Texas as the study environment. Also through review of the literature, the research explored a new way to analyze contracting based on four principles of classical pragmatism: practical, pluralistic, participatory, and provisional orientations. Reviewing the literature, the research explored the nature of public service contracting, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. Critics argue its emphasis is stemmed in dangerous ideology and that such emphasis on contracting has led to less accountability, reduced quality, and even greater inequity among communities.
