Research Abstract |
We can see the similar reconstruction of the state functions in Germany and Japan. This administrative "modernization" is a particular process of administration development and responds to those motivations of a state and reform that lie beyond such modernization concepts as "lean State" or "New Public Management". It is bound to be traditions and woven into a particular administrative culture. It entails specific administrative commitments to rationality, which, on one hand, are opposed to the criteria of material rationality according to a future reduction of public tasks, but which demand still today as is shown by the constitutional State and the traditional model of bureaucracy to be taken into account in the reorganization of the public administration. The respective change of administrative structures on the levels of program, organization, procedure and personal therefore does not represent a brusque upheaval. Similarly, the scope of Anglo-American strategies of modernization is limited in the context of the administrative modernization in the Federal Republic of Germany with its specific setting of a given administrative culture and under the conditions of a State and governed by the Rule of Law.
