A Study Of The Public Administration Justice In The West

Public administration can be described as government management or administration management.It refers to the activities of the state government-centred administrative organization,in relation to the pursuing of public good by exercising public power,legally directing public affairs of the society,and offering public goods and services to the society.The development of public administration theory and paradigms has increasingly featured the value appeals of public administration since the public administration discipline came into being in 1887.Examining and researching public administration values in an ethical perspective is not only the fundamental task for the study of public administration ethics, but also the actual requirements for the development of public administration practices.In this thesis,public administration power is defined as the objective foundation and logical start of the creation and effective operation of public administration.The process of public administration is a process of operating public power in dealing with public administrative affairs. Public administration power is therefore legal,valid and public.Public administration justice is demonstrated in the legality and validity of public power,in the advocating of its public feature and suppressing of its private features.It is therefore the external demonstration of public power in serving public interests.If public administration cannot demonstrate this basic nature of public power,it will lose its justice.Starting from discussing the nature of public power of any government administration, this thesis takes it as fundamental to argue for and examinine the value of public administration justice,on which the thesis establishes its theoretical structure.Having put forward the concept of public administration justice in a logically delibered structure,this thesis is to illustrate public administration in an ethical perspective.The illustration of public administration justice as the primary and main value of public administration is not only to set up a set of regulatory standards for public administration ethics beyond the differences of politics,history and etc, but also an attempt to provide ethical analyses about the diverse idea of public administration justice.This thesis is to examine the three perspectives of public administration justice based on the three features of public power.The first perspective that is based on the legality of public power is deontological.The second one that is based on the validity of public power is a teleological perspective.The third one that is perspective based on the settlement of the inner issues of public power is a virtue ethical perspective.A hermeneutical study of public administration justice will be surely involved several perspectives because of the complexity of public administration,and it is impossible to acquire a full understanding about public administration in any single perspective.Only by means of combining deontology,teleology and virtual ethics perspectives of public administration justice,can the connotation of public administration be fully appreciated and its regulatory standards can be effectively provided for actual public administration.China is in the process of creating the harmonious society of socialism.Chinese government public administration bears a dual task in this,both establishing an effective bureaucratic system and surpassing it.A critical study and examination of public administration justice as pursued in the West is necessary for us because of the particular nature of Chinese public administration.In this sense,only a just government public administration can lead to a stable and harmonious society.
