W trosce o efektywność: przeobrażenia w kierunku postweberowskiego modelu administracji na przykładzie Niemiec

Reforms known as New Public Management in Anglo-Saxon countries are well known to Polish readers, at the same time the literature connected with these reforms implemented in Germany virtually does not exist. The issue of New Public Management settled in Germany is more important to us because structural and functional basis of Polish administration are much more similar to continental than to the Anglo-Saxon model of public administration. The article aims at presenting efforts made to adjust German administration to the efficiency requirements in two ways. The first way are grassroots initiatives taken by local governments whose purpose is to reconfigure their internal structure in order to measure efficiency and gain concrete outputs. The second way is based on deep system-wide reforms: structural, functional and territorial. The specifics of the depicted reforms taken up in Germany are variety and multiple enhanced by federal nature of state; at the same time preferential treatment the rule that administration acts within the law and under the law whose rules reflect classical Weberian's model of public administration.
