A patchwork quilt of public administration models without early weberianism? Public management reforms in Colombia since the 1980s
分析了20世纪80年代以来哥伦比亚公共部门改革的路径、阶段、关键行动者和驱动因素,发现该国在未成功实施韦伯式改革后,混合了多种改革模式,形成了独特的拼凑式改革格局。
This article analyses the path and stages of public sector reforms in Colombia, their speed and frequency, the key actors, and drivers of reform since the 1980s. We collected the bills and laws that reformed the Colombian public sector and coded them according to a well-known typology of public management reforms. Until the 1980s, Colombia failed the implementation of Weberian-like reforms. After the 1990s, this country instead embraced a mixture of different models and practices of public sector reform that eventually created a unique Colombian patchwork quilt of public sector reforms, which is still in the making.
