三维视角中的公共行政概念

The Concept of Public Administration in a Three-Dimensional Perspective

公共行政的概念在三重关系中获得了原则性的规定。首先,公共行政是在科学与伦理的关系中得到定位的,所要解决的是政府在社会治理中应当基于科学理念还是基于伦理观念的问题。在这个问题上,公共行政生成时期的学者们基本上主张依据科学的理念去进行政府体系建构,开展社会治理活动。第二,公共行政是在政治与行政的关系中获得相对独立性的,是在政治与行政的分化中通过赋予政治价值中立的特性而使行政具有了形式上的公共性。第三,是在私人性与公共性的区分中界定了公共行政,指认公共行政是公共部门的管理,以求区别于私人部门的管理活动。

The concept of public administration was defined principally in triple relations. First, public administration was positioning in the relationship between science and ethics, in order to determine whether government in social governance should be based on scientific ideas or ethical concepts. On this issue, public administration scholars of the generation period basically held that, both the construction of governmental system and the conduct of social governing activities should be based on the ideas of science. Second, public administration attained relative independence in the relationship between politics and administration, it took on formal publicness by setting the characteristic of political value free in the separation of administration from politics. Third, public administration was defined in the distinction of privateness and publicness, which meant it was the management of public sector, being different from the management of private sector.
