Full textAbstract:
Since the introduction in 1986 of Doi Moi program, a Vietnamese form of
Perestroika, which was designed partly to reduce the role of state bureaucracy
in the system, major economic reforms have been carried out in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV). However, while Vietnam's economic reforms
have generated considerable interest, its limited political reforms, especially in
the area of public administration, have not been a central concern among
political scientists, historians and researchers. In their efforts to revitalise the
state bureaucracy, reformers in Vietnam now recognise the importance of well
qualified bureaucrats, and they inevitably have to face the old issue of how best
to attract, motivate, train and retain public servants for a better government.
This paper, based on the search through the maze of official documents in
Vietnamese language, describes the SRV's political institutions, provides an
overview of Vietnam's administrative system against the backdrop of the
country's economic and political reforms, highlighting institutional interactions
induced by reform imperatives, discusses recent administrative reforms
emanating from the amended 1992 Constitution, and evaluates the effectiveness
of current administrative reform strategies. Comments will also be made on
. The roles and functions of central agencies in Vietnam
. Policy making processes and paradigms
. The 'emerging' dichotomy between policy and administration
. The 'ministerial department' a la Vietnamienne
. Machinery of government changes
. Human resource management initiatives
. The 'career service' nature of the Vietnamese public service, and,
. Central versus provincial governments.
Vietnamese Public Service is an important question and worthy of investigation
because of the increasingly close bilateral relationship between Australia and
Vietnam. Many Australian investors who have often been annoyed by
unnecessary delays caused by bureaucratic red tape and corruption, are now
keen to learn more about the policy making style of Vietnamese bureaucrats.
Vietnam still displays many deliberate trappings of a country run in a highly
centralist fashion. Its reorganisation strategy of the state's administrative
system will continue to bear the socialist imprints. Dr David Marr of the
Australian National University contends that layer upon layer of bureaucratic
influence, from Chinese Neo-Confucian to French Third Republic to Soviet
Stalinist, can be seen in Vietnam today. This paper argues that Vietnam's
political and cultural legacies will continue to exercise significant influence, as
they have in the past, on its public service's structures, strategies and ethics.

Full textAbstract:
This research project seeks to identify commonalities and differences between new administrative ideologies in the United States and post-Soviet Russia. To achieve this goal, the study explores the question of administrative ideology through the lens of the New Public Management (NPM) related reforms, which spread around much of the world in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The discussion is structured around two broad themes identified in the review of the literature on NPM and Reinventing Government: the new vision of the government (and its bureaucracy) and the relationship between government and the public. As a method of inquiry, the study uses the review and analysis of official publications and elite interviews with high-ranking officials, analysts, and scholars in the United States and Russia. The research demonstrates that although new ideologies of administration in the United States and Russia share significant characteristics, they differ in a number of important respects. � �Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The last decade has seen numerous proposals to reform existing tribunal systems in jurisdictions throughout the common law world. Across the board, there have been proposals to adopt generalist tribunal models in preference to smaller, specialist tribunal systems, and to achieve these changes through the process of amalgamation. The most significant recent developments to occur in Australia have taken place in Victoria and NSW during the past five years. Legislators in these States have chosen to amalgamate a number of smaller, specialist tribunals into larger, generalist bodies. In 1997 the NSW Parliament passed legislation amalgamating a number of specialist tribunals to create the Administrative Decisions Tribunal (ADT); comparable legislation was passed in Victoria in 1998 to create the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). There were concurrent attempts to implement similar reforms at federal level. In 1998 the Commonwealth government announced its intention to amalgamate four Commonwealth merits review tribunals to form one �super Tribunal� � the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). The Bills containing these proposals were ultimately defeated in the Senate, however the Australian Government remains convinced of the benefits of amalgamation at federal level. Similar reforms have been proposed in Western Australia, Tasmania and the United Kingdom. This thesis argues that these reforms are taking place in the absence of data about their likely implications, and without a thorough understanding of the objectives that generalist versus specialist tribunal systems can realistically achieve. This ill-considered or �over-hasty� trend towards amalgamation raises a number of questions which have not previously been addressed in academic or policy-making circles. An obvious question is whether or not an amalgamated tribunal model is more effective than a series of smaller, specialised tribunals in delivering administrative justice, in other words, whether there is any net gain to be had from a government�s decision to amalgamate. The less explored, but equally important, question addressed in this thesis is how the process of amalgamation should be approached in order to realise the maximum potential benefits that an amalgamated tribunal can bring. That is, to ask what are the ingredients of an optimal amalgamation. This is not a question about whether government decisions to pursue amalgamation are intrinsically worthwhile or beneficial for stakeholders. Rather, it is about how government decisions to amalgamate should best be implemented. This thesis proposes a way of differentiating between good and bad amalgamations, that is grounded in theory and informed by experience to date. The proposed approach is to assess the effectiveness of amalgamation processes using relevant measures drawn from an analysis of organisational theory literature: � Legislation � the legislation establishing an amalgamated tribunal needs to ensure the tribunal will have appropriate independence, powers, processes, membership and structure. � Political commitment � those responsible for proposing and planning an amalgamation need to provide appropriate funding and support for the process and for the establishment of an autonomous, self-directed tribunal. � Organisational structure � the structures put in place need to be appropriate, integrated and flexible, and should promote cohesion and interaction. � Process and procedure � the processes and procedures adopted in an amalgamated tribunal need to capitalise upon the opportunities provided by amalgamation, as well as being appropriate, efficient and able to balance the needs of a range of stakeholders. � Organisational culture � an organisational culture which counters natural tendencies towards disjunction will assist members and staff to identify with a newly amalgamated tribunal and to implement initiatives that will improve its performance. � Leadership � effective leadership plays an important role in ensuring a smooth transition from specialist to amalgamated tribunal, and engendering commitment from members and staff. Broadly speaking, these factors fall into the four categories of law, context, organisation and people. It is argued that attention must be paid to all four of these ingredients in order to achieve optimal tribunal reform. The thesis tests this proposition by examining the three most advanced tribunal amalgamations so far, namely, the Commonwealth ART, the NSW ADT and VCAT in Victoria. It is argued that the fate of the Commonwealth ART proposal proves the importance of a solid, generally endorsed legislative foundation in creating a viable amalgamated tribunal. The importance of context, organisation and people is borne out by qualitative research into the amalgamation experiences in NSW and Victoria. The fact that the NSW and Victorian governments decided to pursue policies of amalgamation at the same time provided a unique opportunity to compare the success or otherwise of two concurrent attempts at amalgamation in different jurisdictions. This thesis finds that the unfavourable political context in NSW prevented the ADT from realising its potential. In contrast, the VCAT experience highlights the benefits of paying careful attention to the wide range of factors that can contribute to a successful amalgamation. Of most relevance are the initial scale of an amalgamation, the political �will� behind its implementation, the appointment of a core of full-time members, and the creation of an open institutional culture which facilitates the sharing of information. In short, the thesis concludes that the successful construction and consolidation of a tribunal post-amalgamation requires that the necessary ingredients of optimal tribunal reform � legislation, context, organisation and people � are thoughtfully addressed.

Full textAbstract:
The advent of multi-party democracy in 1994 spearheaded different reforms in the Malawi public sector. One prominent reform is administrative reform. The new government that was ushered into power instituted a policy on civil service reform and institutional development. The reforms that were introduced aimed at improving performance and enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of services. Accordingly, a Public Service Act was promulgated that constituted the clarification of the role of the civil service; equal access to public employment; merit based recruitment and promotion; and increased accountability and transparency in the policies and practices of the public service. This study therefore seeks to examine administrative reforms in Malawi and assess their impact on service delivery. The research further endeavours to explore factors which block the successful implementation of reform programmes, and seeks to come up with areas of improvement which would ensure successful implementation of reform programmes in future. The scope of this research is limited to the current civil service reform programmes and is mainly based on primary and secondary sources of information. The study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. However, findings reveal that reforms had a negative impact on service delivery since no significant change in the delivery of services was registered. The Malawi civil service continues to suffer from unprofessionalism, inefficiency, corruption and a host of other problems. The study shows the gap between rhetoric and reality of civil service reform programmes in Malawi.

Full textAbstract:
Territorial reform is the most radical and contested reorganisation of local government. A sound evaluation of the outcome of such reforms is hence an important step to ensure the legitimation of any decision on the subject. However, in our view the discourse on the subject appears to be one sided, focusing primarily on overall fiscal effects scrutinised by economists. The contribution of this paper is hence threefold: Firstly, we provide an overview off territorial reforms in Europe, with a special focus on Eastern Germany as a promising case for cross-country comparisons. Secondly, we provide an overview of the analytical classifications of these reforms and context factors to be considered in their evaluation. And thirdly, we analyse the literature on qualitative performance effects of these reforms. The results show that territorial reforms have a significant positive impact on functional performance, while the effects on participation and integration are indeed ambivalent. In doing so, we provide substantial arguments for a broader, more inclusive discussion on the success of territorial reforms.

Full textAbstract:
Administrative reform is a challenging endeavor for both developed and developing countries alike. For developing countries, the challenge is greater because numerous reforms are implemented concurrently sometimes under conditions of resource scarcity and political instability. So far there is no consensus as to what makes some reforms succeed and others fail. The current study seeks to fill that gap by offering an empirical comparative analysis of the administrative reforms initiated in Uganda and Tanzania since the early 1990s. The purpose of the study is to explain the similarities and differences, and give reasons for the successes and failures of the reform programs in the two countries. It focuses on four major areas; the size of the civil service, pay reform, capacity building, and ethics and accountability. Data were collected via in-depth face to face interviews with 35 key government officials and the content analysis of various documents. The results indicate that the reforms generated initial substantial reduction in the size of the public services in both countries. In Uganda, the traditional civil service was reduced from 140,500 in 1990 to 41,730 in 2004; while in Tanzania Ministries, Departments, and Agencies were reduced by 25%. Pay reform has generated substantial increases in civil servants’ salaries in both countries but in Uganda, the government has not been able to abide by the pay strategy while in Tanzania the strategy guides the increments. Civil Service capacity building efforts have focused on enhancing the skills of the personnel. Training needs assessments were undertaken in all ministries in Uganda and a training policy was formulated. In Tanzania, the training needs assessments are still under way and a training policy has not yet been developed. Ethics and accountability are great challenges in both countries, but in Tanzania, there is more political will and commitment to improve the integrity of the civil service. The findings reveal that although Uganda started the reform with much more rigor and initial success, Tanzania has surpassed it and has a more stable, consistent, and promising reform record. This is because Uganda’s leadership lacks political legitimacy. The country has since the late 1990s experienced a civil war in the northern and western parts of the country while Tanzania has benefitted from relative peace and high level political legitimacy.

Liu, Meiru. "Administrative Reform in China: Its Impact on Economic Development After Mao." PDXScholar, 1996. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1347.
Full textAbstract:
The need to improve the quality of government decision-making and tailor China's management to its more complex economy after Mao's death forced China's Party authorities to implement a number of administrative reforms, and to select administrative leaders from among professionals and specialists based on their competence, education, and age. The crucial outcome of these post-Mao reforms, 1979 to the present, is the major focus of this research. This study examines the role of China's top administrative elites during and after the post-Mao administrative reforms, and determines to what extent the changes and their impact on the policy-making may have brought about better economic policies and development. China's social and political conditions and leadership changes before, during, and after the reform are provided as background information for the analysis of policy making in China. This is followed by an analysis of various contemporary theories of bureaucracy and technocracy in general, and the Weberian Legal-Rational model of modern bureaucracy in particular. Qualitative and quantitative methods coupled with surveys, interviews, biographical and documentary-historical methods, and other primary and secondary data are combined in this empirical study. The primary data on biographical information of administrative elites were drawn from the collected results of questionnaires and interviews with elite members of State Council ministries and commissions, provincial and municipal governments. The secondary data were used to conduct a biographical study of the Maoist and post-Mao top administrative elites--all premiers, vice-premiers, State Council ministers, and all provincial governors and municipal mayors from the founding of the PRC in 1949 up until 1993. Through these analyses, the study found that post-Mao administrative reform has indeed brought about changes in the composition of administrative elites. These post-Mao administrative elites are more professionally competent, better educated, more efficient, and younger. Their economic policies have stimulated more extensive and sustained economic development.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of building code development and implementation practices are normally connected with the progress of construction community changing awareness, needs and perspectives, advanced technology in construction and new level of knowledge. Unproven practices and the technology of building code development and implementation in case of insufficient and outdated codes, the use of unproven advanced codes of other countries, or the infringement of the existing codes, in most cases, could lead to a large number of shortcomings of minimum requirements of public health, safety and general welfare, and poor quality of buildings. Every aspect of a building code development and implementation practice could be influenced by insufficiencies and infringements in building codes/regulations that could cause buildings failures. Generally, the success of a building code development and implementation practice is directly connected with the involved insufficiencies and infringements in the framework of building code (legal, Administrative, technical, & social), i.e. faults of building code development and implementation should be successfully resolved in order to come to an end of a building project assuring code's objectives (public health, safety and general welfare). One of the early research problems of building code development and implementation practice was conducted by Productivity Commission (2004) where the research organized and categorized the causes of shortcomings of BC according to four main functions of building code, including legal, administrative, technical, and social functions. Productivity Commission Research had been the starting point of research problems of building codes in Kuwait. For the past 20 years, many researchers have high numbers of categories, components and rankings to explain different types of insufficiencies and infringements in building codes/regulations. However, these categories and rankings produce inconsistent and overlapping cause and impact factors. In addition, researchers and practitioners at this point tend to focus on the technical and administrative sides related to the issues of building codes development and implementation, and neglecting the importance of legal and social sides. Legal issues like finding a law to prepare and enforce building codes, cover of insurance companies, building materials testing system, weak regulations related issues, building specifications, and clarity of regulation texts; as well as social issues like community awareness, issuing and enforcing legal court rules, deterrent punishments for violators, violations or cheatings in related issues, all of these were deemed not that critical by most reviewers. The research is specifically concerned with the insufficiencies and infringements in building codes/regulations which cause shortcomings of minimum requirements of public health, safety and general welfare, and how related cause and impact factors are selected and organized. Existing research highlights the need for further researches of how to relate between research and building regulations that are at present. There is evidence that construction industries around the world have little experience in this area (CIB TG37, 2001). The proposal within this research is to address this aspect of the debate by seeking to clarify the role of the four functions of building code; legal, administrative, technical, and social function as a frame of reference that stakeholder parties (building officials, design and construction professionals) might agree with and which should act as the basis for the selection and formation of occurrences of cause factors, and their iv impact on public health, safety and general welfare. The focus on the four functions of building code as a fault (cause) frame of reference potentially leads to a common, practical view of the (multi) dimensionality setting of fault (cause) within which cause factors may be identified and which, we believe, could be grounded across a wide range of practices specifically in this research of building code development and implementation. The research surveyed and examined the opinions of building officials, design and construction professionals. We assess which fault (cause) factors are most likely to occur in building and construction projects; evaluate fault (cause) impact by assessing which fault (cause) factors that building officials, design and construction professionals specifically think are likely to arise in the possibility of shortcomings of minimum requirements of public health, safety and general welfare. The data obtained were processed, analyzed and ranked. By using the EXCEL and SPSS for factor analysis, all the fault (cause) factors were reduced and groups into clusters and components for further correlation analysis. The analysis was able to prove an opinion on fault (cause) likelihood, the impact of the fault (cause) on the objectives of building code. The analysis indicates that it is possible to identify grouping of insufficiencies and infringements in building codes/regulations that is correspondent to the different parts of the framework of building code (legal, Administrative, technical, & social) these suggest three identified groups when viewing cause from the likelihood occurrence and four identified groups and their impact for each building code objective. The evidence related to the impact of building code objectives, view of cause, and provides a stronger view of which components of cause were important compared with cause likelihood. The research accounts for the difference by suggesting that a more selection and formation of cause and impact, offered by viewing cause within the context of a framework of building code, and viewing impact within the context of building code objectives (public health, safety and general welfare) allows those involved in building code development and implementation to have an understandable view of the relationships within cause factors, and between cause and impact factors. It also allows the various cause components and the associated emergent clusters to be more readily identified. The contribution of the research relates to the assessment of cause within a construction that is defined in the context of a fairly broad accepted view of the framework of building code (legal, Administrative, technical, & social). The fault (cause) likelihood construction is based on the building code framework proposed in this research and could facilitates a focus on roles and responsibilities, and allows the coordination and integration of activities for regular development and implementation with the building code goals. This contribution would better enable building officials and code writers to identify and manage faults (causes) as they emerge with BC aspects/parts and more closely reflect building and construction activities and processes and facilitate the fault (cause) administration exercise.

Full textAbstract:
Marital rape is not a criminal offence in Botswana. This means therefore that, the law of Botswana recognises other forms of rape, except for marital rape. Marital rape is a form of intimate partner violence that the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of violence Against Women refers to as domestic violence. Marital rape is also a form of gender based violence against women because it is a violence that is directed against women because they are women. Marital rape results in serious medical, emotional and mental harm. As a result, marital rape violates numerous human rights that range from the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, the right to security and liberty of the person, as well as the right to health, just to mention a few. The human rights that are violated by marital rape are provided for under international human rights instruments that Botswana has ratified. Further, The Constitution of Botswana contains, in its Bill of Rights, a provision that guarantees every person in Botswana protection of the law regardless of sex. The biggest challenge for this dissertation is that there is no scientific evidence that serves as authority that marital rape does occur in Botswana. However, the findings of the studies conducted on gender based violence show there is a strong possibility of marital rape due to some cultural factors that give men sexual entitlement in a marriage. Further some women have come out to relate their rape ordeals at the hands of their husbands. With this dissertation, I seek to make a case for the criminalisation of marital rape. My argument in this dissertation is that, even without scientific evidence in the form of statistics, any form of violence against women is a violation of women human rights. As a result, it is necessary for Botswana to put measures in place, including criminalising marital rape, to protect married women’s human rights. Further, even though a sovereign state, Botswana has ratified international human rights instruments and is therefore bound by its international obligations to prevent, eradicate and punish any form of violence that violates human rights. Furthermore, other than what international law provide in regard to criminalisation of marital rape, marital rape needs to criminalised in order to provide effective protection and remedies for married women against marital rape.

Full textAbstract:
In this research study the experience of the management services function as an aid to administrative reform in the Sudan is examined. Particular attention is paid to the establishment of the departmental management services units (DMSUs), as institutional in-built organs for administrative reform in the public service. The focus of the study is on the problems which confronted the DMSU programme. Interviews with a number of high-ranking personnel such as the former President Ga'afar Mohamad Nimeiri, the former Ministers of Public Service and Administrative Reform and some Under-Secretaries, all formed an important part of the procedure to trace the development of the management services function in the Sudan. They also provided the opportunity to highlight important issues and problems associated with the subject Comparative material on the experience of other countries showed that successful implementation of management services function can not be achieved in neglect of social, cultural and other environmental considerations. The effectiveness and optimum utilisation of the DMSUs must be affected by such considerations. The general finding of the study is that the DMSU programme has had a rather uneasy development. It did not achieve the objectives which were envisaged. Recommendations for the revival and successful implementation of the DMSU programme are set out in chapter 5.This study consists of five chapters. Chapter one is divided into two parts. One part is about administrative reform: the concept, definitions and approaches; and die second part briefly covers, the wider structure of administrative reform in die Sudan. Chapter two is about the experience of management services function in the Sudan. Chapter three is about the management services training courses and training of the management services officers locally and abroad. Chapter four covers analysis of the problems confronted in the management services in Sudan, and chapter five consists of the conclusion and recommendations.

A investigação procurou discutir três reformas administrativas realizadas no Brasil que, na literatura especializada, aparecem com destaque. A primeira delas se desenvolveu durante o primeiro governo Vargas, a segunda ocorreu no governo Castelo Branco, em 1967, e a última, implantada durante o governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso, em 1995, a única ocorrida em regime democrático. A análise sobre as reformas administrativas é norteada por três principais eixos analíticos. O primeiro diz respeito à definição do papel do Estado e de sua relação com o mercado. O segundo trata do desdobramento da reforma administrativa sobre o sistema federativo, especialmente se privilegiou a centralização ou descentralização. O terceiro se refere à complexa relação entre governo e sociedade, mais especificamente à convivência entre aspectos clientelistas e a busca pelo universalismo de procedimentos. Concluiu-se que durante o governo Vargas teve início o ciclo de reformas administrativas, com a tentativa de implantar o Estado burocrático racional-legal. Neste momento, predominou a ênfase na centralização política e intensa predominância da atuação estatal na economia. No governo Castelo Branco, o Decreto-lei número 200, de 1967, procurou fortalecer a administração indireta, em contexto de intensa centralização no governo federal e de ainda expansão do Estado nacional-desenvolvimentista. A reforma administrativa de 1995 pretendia substituir a administração burocrática por modelos pós-burocráticos. Não logrou êxito, em razão da perspectiva fiscal que prevalecia à época, entretanto, promoveu redefinição das funções do Estado por meio da realização de privatizações e da criação de agências reguladoras, assim como procurou abrir algum espaço para a descentralização.
The investigation intends to discuss three administrative reforms that took place in Brazil and that are shown with distinction in specialized literature. The first of them developed during the first Vargas administration, the second during the Castelo Branco administration in 1967, and the last was implemented during the Fernando Henrique Cardoso administration in 1995, the only one occuring in a democratic regime. The analysis about the administrative reforms is guided by three main analytical axis. The first one concerns the definition of the role to be played by the State and of its relation to the Market. The second deals with the unfolding of the administrative reform over the federal system, more specifically if it prioritized centralization or decentralization. The third refers to the complex relationship between government and society, more specifically to the interactions between clientelistic aspects and a more universal approach towards general proceedings. It was concluded that during the Vargas administration a cycle of administrative reforms began with the intent to implement a bureaucratic rational-legal authority. In this particular moment, the emphasis in political centralization and in an intense presence of the State in the economy prevailed. In the course of the Castelo Branco administration, the 1967 decree-law number 200 intended to strengthen the indirect administration amid a moment of intense political centralization in the hands of the federal government and a parallel expansion of the national-developmentist State. The 1995 administrative reform intended to replace the bureaucratic administration models by post-bureaucratic ones. It did not succeed due to the fiscal perspectives that were predominant at the time. However, it provided a redefinition of the functions of the State by promoting privatizations and creating regulatory agencies, and aiming to find some space for decentralization.

Morrison, Norma J. "An Administrative Model for Professional Development Centers in the Reform of Teacher Education." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 1989. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2755.
Full textAbstract:
The problem of this study was to identify a validated model of professional development centers (PDCs) for teacher education that could be applied collaboratively by administrators in higher education and the local school systems. A thorough investigation failed to reveal a model. Therefore, a professional development center model was synthesized from the literature, attributes of existing centers, and ideas of East Tennessee educators who were in positions to implement such a model. The examination of centers incorporated both quantitative and qualitative research methodology. The quantitative investigation was a combination of inductive and deductive analysis of responses to a survey form on PDCs that was developed by the investigator. Four centers were visited for the gathering of qualitative data in a naturalistic inquiry. Some quantitative data analyses were conducted by using the univariate method which included frequency counts and simple retrievals. Analyses provided descriptive statistics and percentages of characteristics of each PDC. The quantitative data analyses were synthesized with the qualitative data analyses for a comprehensive theoretical model. The model had ecological and face validity according to local educators and experts on the topic of PDCs. The findings were that PDCs had common goals and utilized a collaborative approach to problem solving and goal attainment among various levels including the school, the local education agency (LEA) level, the institution of higher education (IHE) level, and the state level. PDCs improved communication, trust, and support among teachers within and between schools, administrators, IHE faculty, and the community. PDCs promoted changes in both the IHE and LEA. The results of this study should prove useful to educational institutions in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of PDCs. Professional development centers provide structure for reform in teacher education.

O presente estudo tem como tema os processos de reforma do Estado na Argentina e no Brasil, no período compreendido entre as eleições de 1989 e a aprovação das leis de responsabilidade fiscal nesses países no final de 1999 e início do ano 2000 respectivamente. Analisa e compara os programas de privatização e de reforma administrativa formulados e implementados nesses dois países em diferentes fases da gestão do presidente Carlos Menem e dos governos de Fernando Collor de Mello, Itamar Franco e Fernando Henrique Cardoso no Brasil. O trabalho procura identificar a interpretar diferenças de conteúdo e de execução dos programas de reforma do Estado na Argentina e no Brasil, argumentando que a existência de condições institucionais distintas, especialmente a maior concentração de poderes no Executivo e a fraca incidência de constrangimentos jurídico-legais, foi preponderante para a maior celeridade e profundidade da experiência argentina em comparação com a brasileira.The theme of this thesis is the process of State Reform in Argentina and in Brazil, in the period between the general elections in the year 1989 and the approval of the law of fiscal responsibility in both countries at the end of 1999 and the beginning of the year 2000. It examines and compares the programs of privatization and administrative reform conceptualized and executed in both countries trough different phases of Carlos Saúl Menem's government in Argentina and the presidencies of Fernando Collor de Mello, Itamar Franco and Fernando Henrique Cardoso in Brazil. The study aims to identify and interpret the differences of ideas and implementation of State Reform programs in Argentina and Brazil, arguing that diversity of institutional conditions, especially the concentration of power in the Executive and the lack of legal constraints in Argentina, has been of paramount importance for the rapidity and amplitude of the State Reform in that country, compared to the Brazilian experience.

Full textAbstract:
L'argument de cette thèse est le suivant : la « réforme de l'Etat » est une politique publique permanente, auto-conflictuelle et générale, défiant toute conceptualisation stable du droit administratif. Ce que nous affirmons ici n'est pas seulement que les transformations de l'Etat au cours des vingt dernières années ont donc un impact sur l'ancien paradigme du droit administratif. Au-delà, nous pensons que le nouveau paradigme est privé de tout contenu ordonné : l'engagement est de ne pas être engagé par un ensemble fixe d'outils permettant d’élaborer et de mettre en oeuvre des politiques publiques. L’action de l'Etat abandonne la prévisibilité et s'engage dans une évaluation continue. Plusieurs pays ont publié leurs « livres blancs » comme un effort pour revoir l'organisation et le fonctionnement de leurs Etats. Mais si ces initiatives ont été énoncées par la même langue, elles peuvent suggérer une variété infinie de discours. Compte tenu de la diversité des discours dans le scénario régional, les cas du Chili, du Brésil et de l'Argentine semblent comparables et suffisamment différents pour rendre la comparaison intéressante. Ainsi, nous analysons les discours que chaque pays a produit à travers quatre sous-politiques de la réforme de l’État. Nous montrons que les agences de régulation et la décentralisation ont substitué la cohérence à la construction d’un droit administratif sur mesure, fondé sur des innovations structurelles plurielles afin de répondre à la complexité de l'action de l'État. Ensuite, nous expliquons que les partenariats public-privé et les réformes de la fonction publique ont dénaturé la prévisibilité de l'action publique et caractérisent une approche expérimentaliste du droit administratif, car l'autonomisation des individus a été favorisé. Enfin, nous constatons que la réforme de l'État limite l'écart entre les politiques publiques et les phénomènes de droit administratif et met en évidence l'interaction nécessaire entre ces deux réalitésOn the basis of a comparative work, we argue that “State Reform” is a continuous, self-conflicting and overall public policy that challenges any stable conceptualization of Administrative Law. We do not only argue that the transformations of the State in the last twenty years have affected the previous paradigm of Administrative Law. Beyond that, the new paradigm is deprived of any programmed content: the commitment is to not be committed to any fixed set of tools to elaborate and implement public policy. Hence, there is a potential approximation between public law and public policy phenomena. Indeed, Chile pushed this approximation in a more aggressive way: the “pragmatic Weber” profoundly reformed the State without being revolutionary and articulated its parts without renouncing its unitary character. In Chile, nothing sounds truly public, but nothing seems to be completely out of the State control. Public and private confusion is further acknowledged. In turn, Brazil has absorbed some values from the public policy rational, but they only consolidate one more « chapter » of Administrative Law books. There is a fragmented understanding of Administrative Law in Brazil, which encompasses a bipolar (or even multi-polar) speech of a “confused Weber”, who manages a de-centralized State, deals with the tensions of the double legitimacy of regulatory agencies and bets on several public-private partnership models. Finally, neither is Argentinean Administrative Law confused, nor is it real. The “would-be Weber” pursues an ideal structure of the State that actually enlarges the gap between administrative law and public policy phenomena. The legal speech still seeks to provide a coherent and predictable system. However, the Argentinean institutional fragility constantly transforms this speech into a set of rhetoric arguments to allow the application of emergency measures. Administrative Law in Argentina has not become closer to public policy phenomenon, but a server of it

Full textAbstract:
This study examines new administrative reforms in Whitehall and Canberra in the 1980s. More particularly it compares and contrasts two programmes of managerial change which were central to the British and Australian governments' drive to introduce a more managerially oriented administration. Whitehall's programme was the Financial Management Initiative (FMI) which, later in the decade, was succeeded by 'The Next Steps'. Canberra's initiative was the similarly entitled Financial Management Improvement Program (FMIP). The study has three purposes: (i) To describe and analyse the progress of the two reform programmes during the 1980s. (ii) Through a comparison between the experience of the two, to illuminate those factors which were critical in advancing the cause of reform and those which retarded it. (iii) On the basis of this analysis, to develop a deeper theoretical understanding of the process by which administrations are changed. Each of these purposes was informed by one more fundamental question. Why is it that administrative reforms seem so often to fail. This dissertation is devoted to an examination and extrapolation of that basic inquiry.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the impact of the Caroline reform policies during the Personal Rule on the organisation, work-load, and morale of parish officers. In addition to suggesting a national approach to the study of local government, it examines the enforcement of the Book of Orders, Ship Money, and the Perfect Militia at the parochial level during the 1630s. The sources employed include the rich correspondence between the Privy Council and county governors (JPs, Sheriffs, Deputy Lieutenants), and all available parish officers' accounts from thirty-nine English counties and corporate towns. It is argued that the pattern of response to national policies was strongly influenced by communal values, and the administrative standards and individual character of local officeholders. The enforcement of the Caroline reform policies depended on their political acceptability and the ability of the Privy Council and county governors to coerce parish officers. While the Book of Orders was generally welcome in the localities, its implementation was adapted to local necessities and the administrative inertia of both JPs and parish officers. The supervision of the enforcement was restricted by the extreme dependency of superiors on information from parish officers. The administration of Ship Money was thwarted by local assessment disputes, economic depression, and political opposition. Its collection met with significant difficulties from the very start, and ceased under the pressure communities exerted on their officers. Far from being perfect, the militias maintained their standard under the constant supervision of the Deputy Lieutenants. The control of parishes over their officers was emphasised during the recruitment for the Scots' Wars and the collection of Coat and Conduct Money, both of which were causes of the failure of the English army. In conclusion, this thesis proposes that the response to national policies in early modern England varied considerably from community to community. A voluntary and highly decentralised system of local government was unsuitable to enforce contentious policies against the will of the population. The 1630s saw the partial breakdown of local government which significantly contributed to the collapse of the Personal Rule in 1640.

This thesis is about the reform of the brazilian public sector which is on administrative reform of management inspiration established in 2005 at URB – Recife (the main public company of Recife, capital of Pernambuco). The ultimate purpose of the study was to understand the impacts on management of the mencioned company. These impacts came from the administrative reform, drawing in part to perceptions that it had employees and the body of managers, as revealed by ad hoc applied research. The study was contextualized in a historical summary of bureaucratic administration in Brazil, highlighting the reform initiatives in the Vargas era, with the emergence of DASP, when he tried the deployment of classical inspiration Weberian bureaucracy, is also making reference to the second major reform of the Brazilian State, held at the military regime, regulated by Decree-Law No 200/67, and considered the first attempt to reform stamp management. The government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, has tempted the third major reform, influenced by economic ideas and policies of the eighties and nineties of the last century in industrialized countries, whose governments then gambled on the values and strategies of the market as the most appropriate solution to the problems economic and social, and management techniques of the private sector to become more efficient public administration. Beside the design aspect of administrative management, in Brazil the past two decades, flourished ideas of societal management, inspired by the experiences of participatory budgeting, initiated in Porto Alegre City Hall in 1989 and now spread across hundreds of municipalities. The reform of URB - Recife in 2005, was also analyzed for changes in its structure since its establishment in 1973 and several changes of roles and management models that occurred in the period. It is concluded, both based on the evaluation of responses to the survey cited, as the author's own observations of the study, that the reform had focused predominantly results unfavorable to the desirable performance of the institution.
O tema desta dissertação é a reforma do setor público brasileiro, com foco na reforma administrativa de inspiração gerencial, implantada em 2005 na principal empresa pública da capital pernambucana, a URB - Recife. O objetivo final do estudo foi o entendimento dos impactos na gestão da empresa, advindos de tal reestruturação, recorrendo-se parcialmente às percepções que dela tiveram seus funcionários e o corpo de gerentes, conforme reveladas por pesquisa ad hoc aplicada. O estudo foi contextualizado num histórico sumário da administração burocrática no Brasil; destacando-se as iniciativas de reforma na. era Vargas, com o surgimento do DASP, quando se tentou a implantação da burocracia clássica de inspiração weberiana, fazendo-se igualmente referência à segunda grande reforma do Estado brasileiro, realizada no regime militar, regulada pelo Decreto-lei n° 200/67 e considerada a primeira tentativa de reforma de cunho gerencial. No governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso, foi tentada a terceira grande reforma, influenciada pelas idéias econômicas e políticas dos anos oitenta e noventa do século passado em países industrializados, cujos governos apostavam então nos valores e estratégias do mercado, como a solução mais adequada para os problemas econômicos e sociais, e nas técnicas de gestão do setor priva-o, para tomar mais eficiente a administração pública. Ao lado da concepção administrativa de· vertente gerencial, no Brasil das duas últimas décadas, prosperaram idéias de administração societal, inspiradas em experiências de orçamento participativo, iniciadas na Prefeitura de Porto Alegre em 1989 e hoje espalhadas por centenas de municípios. A reforma da URB - Recife em 2005, também foi analisada quanto à evolução de sua estrutura desde sua instituição em 1973 e as diversas alterações de atribui'4ões e de modelos de gestão ocorridos no período. Concluiu-se, tanto com base na avaliação das respostas à pesquisa referenciada, como pelas próprias observações do autor do estudo, que a reforma focada teve resultados predominantemente desfavoráveis ao desempenho desejável da instituição.

Full textAbstract:
It has been widely acknowledged that boundary problems resulting from urban growth is one of the persistent issues at the local level. At least three main problem areas have been identified: fragmentation of the planning system, inefficiency in the service provision and the scale of local participation. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the restructuring of the organizational structure and statutes of local authorities in terms of boundary changes, amalgamation and annexation with reference to the Turkish case. The city of Denizli has been taken as a case study as there has been a recent change in the municipal boundaries which brought the annexation of small-sized municipalities to the Denizli Municipality. The thesis problematizes the Denizli case in terms of planning processes, service provision and local participation. The experience of other countries and the literature on this issue are to be used in order to provide a yardstick against which the case of Denizli could be measured.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the evolution of the war prerogative in England from 1600-2010. It traces the historical theory and practice of the war prerogative and proposes reform of the constitutional arrangements for its exercise. It addresses three key questions. First, what have writers on political and constitutional theory said about the constitutional arrangements for the war prerogative, and, in particular, what justifications have been advanced for those arrangements? Secondly, in practice, has the executive in fact possessed sole and exclusive powers over war and the deployment of force, or have Parliament and the courts had a role to play in their exercise and scrutiny? Thirdly, are there better ways to organise our constitutional arrangements for the war prerogative, to enable a more substantive role for Parliament (particularly the House of Commons) in its exercise and scrutiny? On the first question, I show that orthodox theoretical and political discourses have continuously asserted the executive’s exclusive power over war, but the justifications advanced for that arrangement have changed over time. Those changes reflect the varying influence of different political theories at different times. On the second question, I find that, contrary to orthodox theoretical and political discourses, Parliament has played an active and substantive role in the exercise and scrutiny of the war prerogative. The courts have refused to intervene in the exercise of the war prerogative, but have been more ready to intervene in cases involving the exercise of powers incidental to the war prerogative. On the third question, I argue that reform of the constitutional arrangements for the war prerogative is necessary and desirable. I recommend the use of ‘institutional mechanisms’, which are small-scale rules and institutional arrangements, within existing institutions, which aim to promote certain normative goals. In particular, I propose a statute which would impose conditions on the executive’s exercise of its war prerogative. I argue that these proposals show that, through careful institutional design, democratic values, national security and operational efficiency can each be reconciled and promoted.

Full textAbstract:
This work asserts that bureaucratic organization is not only an inevitable part of the modern administrative state, but that a high quality bureaucracy within a strongly empowered executive branch is an ideal mechanism for running government in the modern era. Beginning with a philosophical inquiry into the purpose of American government as we understand it today, this paper responds to criticisms of the role of expanded government and develops a framework for evaluating the quality of differing government structures. Following an evaluation of the current debate surrounding bureaucracies (from both proponents and critics), this thesis outlines the lessons and principles for structuring and managing an efficient bureaucracy. Finally, this paper concludes with two case studies – Puerto Rican bureaucratic failures and Japanese/Chinese national development – to consider the effects of compliance and non-compliance to the lessons outlined in this work. The inquiry finds that principles such as specialization, political autonomy, effective information systems, higher accountability standards, and managerial emphasis on policy implementation are all critical to superior bureaucratic governance.

Esta tese ocupa-se de alinhar o pensamento de quatro autores-atores políticos brasileiros que tratam de estabelecer relação entre reformas das instituições político-administrativas nacionais e a geração e/ou fortalecimento de uma cultura política nacional mais democrática: Visconde do Uruguai, Oliveira Viana, Guerreiro Ramos e Bresser-Pereira. Em comum, todos tiveram papel relevante em diversos momentos históricos brasileiros de reformas das instituições político-administrativas do país. Visconde do Uruguai foi autor da revisão do Ato Adicional do Império; Oliveira Viana teve papel central na criação de Leis importantes para a organização sindical brasileira na época do getulismo; Guerreiro Ramos teve longa passagem pelo Departamento de Administração do Serviço Público, onde refletiu e atuou sobre a reforma burocrática brasileira; Bresser-Pereira foi Ministro do Ministério da Administração Federal e Reforma do Estado durante o primeiro mandato do Presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Todos supuseram que a democracia brasileira pudesse ser construída, ou qualificada, a partir de reformas das instituições político-administrativas do país.This thesis align the thought of four authors-political actors that deal to establish the relationship between reforms of political-administrative institutions and the generation and/or strengthening of a national political culture more democratic: Viscount of Uruguay, Oliveira Viana, Guerreiro Ramos and Bresser-Pereira. In common, all had an important role in Brazilians history, particularly on moments of Brazilians reforms of political and administrative institutions. Viscount of Uruguay was the author of the revision of the Additional Act of the Brazilian Empire period (1837-1840); Viana played a central role in the creation of important laws to the Brazilian trade unions organization at the time of President Getulio Vargas (1930-1944); Guerreiro Ramos had long passage by the Department of Public Service Administration (1945-1964), which reflected and acted on bureaucratic reform in Brazil; Bresser-Pereira was Minister of the Ministry of Federal Administration and State Reform during the first term of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-1998). Everyone assumed that Brazilian democracy could be built, or qualified, from reforms of political and administrative institutions of the country.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a case study from 1980 to 2012 of law reform applied to workers’ compensation in Ontario. It aims to understand the promise of law reform and its implementation from the standpoint of injured workers. The study is structured in three parts.
Part One constructs an analytical framework drawing on legal theories and principles of adjudication. It provides a brief history of the Ontario Workers’ Compensation Board, its powers and adjudicative practices prior to the reforms.
Part Two summarizes reform in Ontario’s workers’ compensation law from 1980 to 2012. The description is organized into five periods reflecting significant shifts in direction. It focuses on government recommendations for reform, identifies and describes key legislative changes, and explores changes to governance, appeals and adjudication. Legislation, case law, policy and practice are reviewed.
Part Three reviews the evidence of the impact of the Ontario reforms on a particular group: unemployed, permanently disabled workers. While the Board refuses to track the economic status of injured workers, research suggests poverty and stigma face many.
Conclusions suggest that Ontario’s workers’ compensation system was transformed from one established to address the interests of workers and employers separately to one that balances those interests and now into one that privileges the interests of employers. Workers’ interests are a cost to be reduced. The prospect of law reform as an empirically driven process to address injustice has been corrupted by a focus on correctness with fairness as an afterthought.
Cette thèse étudie les réformes de la législation ontarienne en matière d'indemnisation pour les accidents du travail apportées entre 1980 et 2012. Elle vise à comprendre, du point de vue des travailleurs accidentés, les promesses des réformes et leur mise en oeuvre. L'étude est structurée en trois parties.
La première partie fournit un cadre théorique ancré sur certaines théories juridiques et sur les principes régissant la prise de décision. Elle fournit une courte historique de la Commission des accidents du travail de l'Ontario, en regard de ses pouvoirs et pratiques décisionnelles avant les réformes.
La deuxième partie fait la synthèse de la réforme de la législation ontarienne en matière d'accidents du travail de 1980 à 2012. Elle se divise en cinq périodes reflétant les réorientations importantes. Elle aborde les recommandations gouvernementales, décrit les modifications législatives et explore les changements apportés au niveau de la gouvernance, des appels et des modalités de prise de décision. La législation, la jurisprudence, les directives et les pratiques sont étudiées.
La troisième partie analyse, à la lumière des statistiques et les recherches scientifiques sur le sujet, l'impact des réformes ontariennes sur un groupe particulier: les travailleurs porteurs d'atteintes permanentes et qui sont sans emploi. Alors que la Commission refuse de documenter le statut économique des travailleurs accidentés, la recherche suggère que plusieurs font face à la pauvreté et la stigmatisation.
Les conclusions de la thèse suggèrent que le système d'indemnisation des accidentés du travail de l'Ontario est passé d'un système conçu pour répondre aux intérêts des travailleurs et des employeurs de manière séparée à un système qui a cherché l'équilibre entre ces intérêts, pour, maintenant, privilégier les intérêts des employeurs. Les intérêts des travailleurs sont des coûts à être réduits. La perspective de la réforme du droit en tant que processus fondé sur les données scientifiques pour répondre à l'injustice a été corrompue par un focus sur le caractère correct des décisions, et l'équité est devenue une considération qui vient en dernier lieu.

Full textAbstract:
This research compared decision making processes in six Chinese state-owned enterprises during the period 1985 to 1988. The research objectives were: a) To examine changes in the managerial behaviour over a period of 1985 to 1988 with a focus on decision-making; b) Through this examination, to throw light on the means by which government policies on economic reform were implemented at the enterprise level; c) To illustrate problems encountered in the decentralization programme which was a major part of China's economic reform. The research was conducted by means of intensive interviews with more than eighty managers and a survey of documents relating to specific decisions. A total of sixty cases of decision-making were selected from five decision topics: purchasing of inputs, pricing of outputs, recruitment of labour, organizational change and innovation, which occurred in 1985 (or before) and in 1988/89. Data from the interviews were used to investigate environmental conditions, relations between the enterprise and its higher authority, interactions between management and the party system, the role of information, and effectiveness of regulations and government policies on enterprise management. The analysis of the data indicates that the decision processes in the different enterprises have some similarities in regard to actor involvement, the flow of decision activities, interactions with the authorities, information usage and the effect of regulations. Comparison of the same or similar decision contents over time indicates that the achievement of decentralization varied according to the topic of decision. Managerial authority was delegated to enterprises when the authorities relaxed their control over resource allocation. When acquisition of necessary resources is dependent upon the planning system or the decision matter is sensitive, because it involves change to the institutional framework (e.g. the Party), then a high degree of centralization was retained, resulting in a marginal change in managerial behaviour. The economic reform failed to increase decision efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making. The prevailing institutional frameworks were regarded as negative to the change. The research argues that the decision process is likely to be more contingent on the decision content than the organization. Three types of decision process have been conceptualized, each of them related to a certain type of decision content. This argument gives attention to the perspectives of institution and power in a way which facilitates an elaboration of organizational analysis. The problems encountered in the reform of China's industrial enterprises are identified and discussed. General recommendations for policies of further reform are offered, based on the analysis of decision process and managerial behaviour.
