  • Descrição: A central issue for understanding the outcomes of highly challenging situations is the emergence and resolution of collective stances. Ivan Ermakoff's book Ruling Oneself Out: A Theory of Collective Abdications (2008) explores this issue by considering processes of collective abdication and decision making in two highly contested and revealing cases: the decisions to abdicate constitutional power in Germany (1933) and in France (1940). In this critical exchange Howard Kimeldorf, Ari Adut, and John R. Hall address the main claims of Ruling Oneself Out as well as the theoretical and epistemological challenges raised by these claims. Three broad questions emerge from this discussion. The first concerns the explanatory relevance of motives such as fear, misjudgment, and collusion, to which in retrospect we are prone to impute such dramatic and momentous decisions. The second centers on the possible connections between the theory of collective alignment and contemporary work on organizations. The third engages the open-ended character of the processes at play and the issue of analytic generalization. Adapted from the source document.
