Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kultur, Technik, Völker, Note: sehr gut, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (Fachbereich Südostasienwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Südostasienwissenschaften - Thailand, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung In dem in Gruppenarbeit von Jessica Ludwig und Anna-Katharina Wicke erarbeiteten Referat zum Thema „Bureaucratic Polity and Patronage“ wird die Entwicklung der Machtstrukturen im siamesischen Regierungsapparat von Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts genauer beleuchtet. Die Referentinnen beziehen sich vornehmlich auf zwei Werke der jüngeren Thailand-Forschung. Zum einen ist dies das Werk „Thailand: The Modernization of a Bureaucratic Polity“ von F.W. Riggs, zum zweiten das Working Paper von J.F. Guyot mit dem Titel „The Bureaucratic Polity at Bay“. Ziel des Referats ist die genaue Definition und verständliche Darstellung des Konzeptes der Bureaucratic Polity in Thailand. Wie sieht der geschichtliche Hintergrund aus, der das Entstehen eines solchen Machtverhältnisses initiierte? Inwiefern spielen persönliche Beziehungen bis hin zu patron-client-relationships in einer solchen Form der Staatsführung eine Rolle und wie hat sich die Bureaucratic Polity in den letzten Jahren in Thailand weiterentwickelt ? Der Verweis auf „das Verhältnis der Exekutive und Legislative in der BRD“ zu Beginn des Referates soll einen Vergleich zwischen den Machtstrukturen des sich im Modernisierungsprozeß befindlichen Thailands und der BRD heute ermöglichen.

The success or failure of empires, nation-states, and city-states often rests on the relationship between bureaucracy and politicians. In this provocative and timely volume, editor Ali Farazmand examines the myriad relationships between politicians and bureaucrats and how they affect modern governance. This book is organized around the major themes of professionalism, bureaucracy, governance, and the relationship between career bureaucrats/higher civil servants and political appointees/politicians under presidential and parliamentary systems. After introducing the basic elements of bureaucracies in Part I, the book discusses the relations between bureaucrats and politicians in presidential systems in Part II as well as in parliamentary systems in Part III. This original and up-to-date book will fill a gap in the literature on the relationship between bureaucrats and politicians in modern governance and public administration. It can be used as a primary or supplementary text at the undergraduate and graduate level for those interested in public administration, comparative public policy, political science, and government.

Everyone has trouble with bureaucracy. Citizens and politicians have trouble controlling the runaway bureaucratic machine. Managers have trouble managing it. Employees dislike working in it. Clients can't get the goods from it. Teachers have difficulty getting a grip on it. Optimists argue that soon all of this will be fixed. The new Fifth Edition of Ralph P. Hummel's classic text maintains just the opposite--that despite all the current rhetoric from proponents of total quality management, corporate reengineering, and the new public management, it's still business as usual for bureaucracies. The persistent reality of organizational structure remains resilient in the face of feel-good trends and values. For this edition the book has been thoroughly revised and updated, with two key changes: (1) each of the six core chapters has been trimmed and edited to consolidate and streamline the important organizational theory developments since the book's initial publication; (2) each chapter contains newly added critiques of the postmodern theory of modern organizations, pursuing the theme that postmodernism covers up the persistent reality of organizational structure.
