Abstract

It is commonly observed that the state has been in a restructuring process for over two decades. Liberal policies have been the sole criterion to decide what, to what extent and how the state should do. Widespread public sector reforms have occurred in compliance with this process and it can be asserted that there has been a global reform wave. This article examines public sector reform experience of some countries. It explores, firstly, pressures and incentives that have led to reform attempts in different cases. Thereafter, it tries to define differences and convergences between the methods, and targets of reforms. It also discusses the outcomes of reform attempts. Consequently, it seems that a reform attempt, which embraces most principals of new public management, is welcomed at an almost global level at least as a discourse. However, the outcomes of reforms are so problematic that it raises the following question: "Why, how and to whose benefit should public administration reform be done? "

Özet

Son otuz yıldır, devletin neyi, ne ölçüde ve nasıl yapması gerektiği, liberal ilkeler çerçevesinde yeniden belirlenmektedir. Devletteki bu dönüşüme bağlı olarak kamu yönetimleri de yeniden yapılandırılmadadır. Geniş bir coğrafyada hemen her ülkenin yeni kamu işletmeciliği tarzında yönetsel reformları gündemine almış olması, bir küresel reform girişimini çağrıştırmaktadır. Makalede, ülkelerin reform deneyimlerinin incelenerek, ülkeleri reforma yönelten etmenler, reformların yöntemleri, hedefleri arasındaki benzeşmeler ve farklılıkların saptanması ile uygulama sonuçlarının tartışılması amaçlanmaktadır. Söylem düzeyinde yeni kamu işletmeciliği ilkelerinin çoğunu hedefleyen bir reform girişimi, küresel kabul edilebilecek bir ölçekte benimsenmiş görünmekle birlikte; uygulama sonuçları, "niçin, nasıl ve kimin yararına" bir kamu yönetimi reformu sorusunu sormayı gerektirecek ölçüde sorunludur.
