Türk Kamu Yöneriminde Yeniden Yapılandırma Çalışmalarının Bireyselci ve Kurumsalcı Yaklaşımlar Açısından İncelenmesi
A Study of Reform in Turkish Public Administration in Terms of Individualism and Institutionalism

Summary/Abstract: Many approaches discuss the nature of institutions, their possible impacts, interactions and power relations among them in the analysis of social realm. Historically, these arguments determine the focal point as individual, institution or social relations, and tend to define social reality based upon it. In theorizing public administration, four traditions stand out. The first is individualist perspective that puts forward individuals to be independent in their decisions and actions, and so to shape social structure by their self-determination. The second tradition is institutionalist approach that asserts not only individual interactions but also institutions and institutionalized interactions affect the individuals by categorizing and limiting their actions. The last two traditions which are Marxist and post-modern approaches will be excluded in the analysis. This study aims to address under what perspectives recent institutional reforms are performed in Turkey.
