Summary/Abstract: Administration is one of the crucial systems for functioning of a state – organisation which is supposed to provide security at collective level for its citizens. Values under which administration operates, are important for security culture of the whole society (II stream of security culture). Concept of Max Weber’s ideal type of administration – bureaucracy – was at time of its creation an innovative way of thinking about the state, but as the time passed, several pathologic phenomena had occurred. Authors present here a sketch of Weber’s concept and its influence on temporary erosion of values.
