Türkiye'de reform yönetimi
Özet
This study attempts to overview the history of reform management from 1923 until today, and to foresee the general tendencies of reform management in the coming years. At the same time we have conducted an enquiry among a representative target group in order to get an insight into the reality of reform management in the field of public administration. The arguments asserted in this study should be evaluated as an attempt to describe the structural changes which took place/are taking place in the sphere of public administration. The aim is to show the shift from the logic of a command economy to a money economy. While the command economy relies on a centralistic organization structure, money economy seems to support a decentralized model. For this reason the development in Turkish public administration politics appears to be a shift from a centralistic structure to a decentralized structure of the state apparatus. We also tried to evaluate the various steps undertaken by the state in order to comply to the historical developments on global scale. One must take into consideration that social reforms are always a matter of political power. The reforms realized by the governments of the Turkish Republic have to be seen in this context. We assume that the pressure to shift from a command economy to a money economy derives from forces, which are of a Western origin. Money economy spreads from the West to the East. Naturally, this shift does not happen suddenly. It is a long process, which includes a lot of set-backs. We tried to show in detail, how this shift took/is taking place by means of analyzing the policies applied.
