El modelo neogerencial en la administración pública en México

Abstract

After the social revolution of the beginnings of the Twentieth Century, Mexican public administration has adopted three different organizational, political and philosophical archetypes in order to articulate a response to present social demands and to comply with the engagements of the present administration. Those three models, in vogue at their time also in the rest of the world, are: the bureaucratic, the postbureaucratic, and the meta-bureaucratic. This essay analyzes the characteristics and particularities of the three archetypes from a comparative perspective; it goes deep into the study of the meta-bureaucratic model in public administration, and it discusses the challenges and risks of putting public administration on a level with private management.
