公共行政理论模型与希腊的政府改革模式

Theoretical models of public administration and patterns of state reform in Greece

有别于战后韦伯式的官僚制度模型,希腊的行政体制经历了几次旨在现代化的改革。本文旨在探讨希腊行政变革过程中的几次主要转变,并将这一过程与公共行政领域的理论发展联系起来。有人认为,希腊政府一直未能借鉴和利用迅速发展的一系列有关政府(再)组织的理想类型和混合模型。希腊政府转型一直以来收效甚微,并且未能建立一致的理念上和操作上的行政范式。即使在当前经济紧缩和外部条件的压力下,也没有强有力的证据表明行政模式发生了范式转变,而只是在有限的范围内做了零星改变。

Departing from the post-war Weberian-oriented bureaucratic model,the Greek administrative system has been subjected to several reform programmes with a view to its modernization.This article aims to explore the main shifts in the course of administrative change and relate this process with the broader theoretical developments in the field of public administration.It is argued that the Greek administration has been unable to follow and take advantage of a vigorously expanded constellation of ideal-types and hybrid models of state(re)organization.Transformations have diachronically produced weak results and failed to build a consistent conceptual and operational administrative paradigm.Even under the current economic contraction and the external conditionality pressure,there is no strong evidence of a paradigm shift in the administrative pattern but rather fragmented changes of limited ambit.
