摘要
本文探讨长期以来联合国组织为何以及如何改革其行政机构和流程,探讨能否在联合国系统中发现趋同的行政模式。与大多数国家一样,按照新公共管理或后新公共管理范式等进行的改革讨论已渗透到国际组织的公共行政中。在此背景下,联合国的国际公共行政中也产生了关于国家官僚制度趋同问题的讨论。一方面,类似的挑战、共同的改革“方式”以及联合国系统内部日益增多的交流使趋同成为可能;另一方面,不同的任务、管理风格和路径依赖可能支撑着不同的改革轨迹。趋同问题是通过衡量改革的频率、方向和理由来解决的,使用的样本来源于四个联合国专门机构(联合国粮农组织、国际劳工组织、国际货币基金组织和世界银行)的国际公共行政。我们发现,趋同取决于改革领域(人力资源或组织事务比其他领域更为协调)和时间(一些国际组织的公共行政改革比其他组织的时间更快或更早)。
This article asks how and why United Nations organizations reform their administrative structure and processes over time.It explores whether we can observe a convergence towards a coherent administrative model in the United Nations system.Like in most nation states,reform discussions according to models like New Public Management or post-New Public Management have permeated international public administrations.Against this background,the question of administrative convergence discussed for national administrative systems also arises for United Nations international public administrations.On the one hand,similar challenges,common reform’fashions’and an increasing exchange within the United Nations system make convergence likely.Yet,on the other hand,distinct tasks,administrative styles and path dependencies might support divergent reform trajectories.This question of convergence is addressed by measuring the frequency,direction and rationales for reforms,using a sample of four international public administrations from the United Nations’specialized agencies(the Food and Agriculture Organization,International Labour Organization,International Monetary Fund and World Bank).We find that convergence depends on the area of reform(human resources or organizational matters are more harmonized than others)and time(some international public administrations are faster or earlier than others).
