ADMINISTRATION THOUGHT AT KUTADGU BILIG: A REVIEW CENTERED ON THE PUBLIC VALUE APPROACH

Summary/Abstract: The public value approach moves beyond traditional and new public administration theories that advocate for a "universal single good governance" by emphasizing conditions such as context, value produced, and the nature of the task. This study aims to trace the concepts of "legitimacy and support," "implementation capacity," and "value" - the "strategic triangle" of public value - within the context of Kutadgu Bilig. Using descriptive content analysis, the study analyzes Kutadgu Bilig's administration principles to critique the assumptions of the public value approach. Ultimately, it aims to contribute to the field of public administration, particularly Turkish administration thought. By analyzing Kutadgu Bilig, the study reveals a valuable lens for understanding current theoretical developments, going beyond the text's historical significance. Notably, the study finds strong compatibility between Kutadgu Bilig's administration ideas and the public value approach.
