| Summary: |
The aim here is to research certain ideas-forces
concerning how we can advance in terms of
democratic governability through the institutional
strengthening of the public function. In order to do
so, the first step consists of investigating what
problems of governability can be resolved through
the institutionalised public function which in the
west is becoming increasingly known as the «Merit
System». Today the Merit System in its traditional
form as a public bureaucratic function finds itself
the subject of serious and partly justified doctrinal
and political criticism. Nonetheless, if we do not
know precisely what social problems the
bureaucratic merit system resolved, we run the risk
of introducing reforms which are intentionally
modernising but which end up effectively
deteriorating our governability and institutional
fabric. The priority is therefore to study the
fundaments, the public and judicial assets
embodied by the merit system. Once this task has
been undertaken, we can then take stock of the
challenges currently faced by the traditional public
bureaucratic function and the responses and
solutions which have been put forward by the new
international movement for administrative
modernisation which began as a result of the crisis
which has been seen in all advanced democracies
from the mid-1970s onwards. |
