MEANINGS OF CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

POLITICAL MEANING (Unitary State)

ADMINISTRATIVE MEANING

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION
The aim of the central administration is to form

the unity and integrity of public services Decision making and activity processes related to public services which are conducted by central administration and its hierarchical organizations Public revenues and expenditures are conducted through central administrations Recruitment services are carried out through central organizations

ADVANTAGES OF CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

Empowerment of the central government in

political and administrative terms Ensuring the unity of public services across the country Administering economic and social development between different regions and districts Enhancing impartiality of public services comparing with local governments Some services can only be conducted by central administration in an effective and efficient way (national security, justice, foreign policy etc.)

DISADVANTAGES OF OVERCENTRALIZATION
Delay of public services

Service delivery which is not convenient with local

priorities, demands and expectations Red tape and bureaucratization Not conducting the key functions Less engagement to public services and decision-making processes

ORGANIZATION FORMS OF CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

Service goals (Ministery of Defence, Ministery of

Education, Ministery of Health) Citizen groups (Ministry of Labor and Social Security) Service field or region (region organizations of the ministeries, local governments) Speciality (Ministery of Finance, Ministry of Public Works and Settlement)

INNER STRUCTURE OF PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS

Main (key) functions

Auxiliary (supportive) functions (human resource

departments, financial affairs, accounting etc) Staff (controlling and counselling) functions

DECONCENTIRATION (DELEGATION OF WIDER POWERS)

This is the moderate form of central

administration. This principle authorizes governors and senior officials of the provincial branches of central administration to take and implement decisions on certain issues. Only example regulated in the Constitution is the province system.
The administration of the provinces is based on the

principle of deconcentration.
TYPES OF DECONCENTRATION

Functional deconcentration 2. Geographical deconcentration

MEANINGS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION

LOCAL ADMINISTRATION

POLITICAL MEANING (Federal State)

ADMINISTRATIVE MEANING

LOCAL ADMINISTRATION
Provision of (1) some (local) public services and (2)

some economical, commercial, cultural and technical functions by public corporate entities outside the realms of central administration.
WHY WE NEED LOCAL ADMINISTRATIONS?

To cope with the disadvantages of centralization To ensure participation of the local people To balance local needs and services To enhance efficiency and effectiveness of public services

AUTHONOMY
Local administrations have their own budgets

(revenues and expenditures), personnel, decision bodies compromised of elections, leaning on a law not on a administrative regulation.

TYPES OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION

LOCAL ADMINISTRATI ON
FUNCTIONAL LOCAL ADMINISTRATION (Functions, services) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCAL ADMINISTRATION (Geography)

- Universities - Chamber of commerce - Chamber of industry - State economic enterprises

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Municipalities (including metropolitan municipalities) Special provincial administrations Villages

REASONS OF GIVING LESS IMPORTANCE ON LOCAL ADMINISTRATION

If there is a conflict threatens the governments policy Governments following modernization (in cultural,

political, economical and administrative aspects) and westernization policies If the contestant political parties have a characteristic that depend on centralization tendency in terms of ideology and organization, it is expected that when they take power there will be a possibility of maintaining their centralist insight. If the population of a state has an homogenous structure, presumably there will not be a necessity for decentralization policies. If the government gives importance on the central planning and development

REASONS OF GIVING LESS IMPORTANCE ON LOCAL ADMINISTRATION

If the prominent ideology in political life has a

pluralist characteristic If there is a decentralized administrative structure If a state have a wide geography and a large population Decentralization is consistent with democratic values

DECENTRALIZATION
Classical Definition
Conveying authority, duties and resources from

central administration to local administration

Modern Definition
Conveying some of the administrative authority

(such as planning, decision-making and gathering revenues) to provincial organizations, local governments, autonomous public organizations, professional organizations and non-governmental organizations.

SUBSIDIARITY
Individual is the focus point of the society Central government has a responsibility to

undertake local services if local governments can ever initiate for that service or can not efficiently and effectively carry out that service. EUROPEAN CHARTER OF LOCAL SELFGOVERNMENT Public responsibilities shall generally be exercised, in preference, by those authorities which are closest to the citizen. Allocation of responsibility to another authority should weigh up the extent and nature of the task and requirements of efficiency and economy. (Article 4/3)
