The Publicity Of Administration In The Dichotomy Between The Politics And Administration

It can be found that publicity has aroused the general concern of scholars at home and abroad through retrospection of the history of publicity. It also shows that different subjects and fields focus on different research directions. Based on the process of history evolution, this paper summarizes the research results of Western scholars and introduces the Chinese research literature from the angle of scientific division,hopefully to bring out a integrated scene of publicity to readers and make the systematic knowledge of publicity root in people's mind.In the process of looking up and reading the literature about publicity,I have unfortunately found that though achievements have been made in China,academic circles directly research into related problems under the condition that there is not a clear definition to the concept of publicity. Worst of all, we generally use the term"publicity"in different subjects when exploring something about publicity, thus leading to the uncertainty and indistinction of this term. Therefore,under the precondition of making a clear definition of administration publicity I attempt to explore it from the angle of separation and unity between politics and administration and the theory schools development.Administration publicity should be discussed in combination with history because it is a historical concept. Before the era of Wilson,as a separate subject, administration publicity breeds in the womb of politics,the precious legacy about publicity from ancient Greece and Roam is of benefit to us. The advocators natural thoughts and social contract firstly expound"publicity"from the contract spirit that government represents; the representative system of government is established based on the contradiction between government publicity and impossibility depending on publicity totally, while the idea of division of power is the basis of government publicity. The theories provide a possible frame for government publicity on the one hand,and make up the source of administration publicity. In the era of Wilson,policy-administration dichotomy and the theory of bureaucracy flourish, hopefully to ends"Booty-sharing system",make administration get rid of the disturbance of politics, improve the efficiency of administrative systems,contribute to the separation of administration from politics,thus leading to the birth of a new scientific subject. Management administration advocates the neutrality of administration,pursuing"publicity"by the means of instrument and technology. However,it realizes this goal only from forms,not from essence,leading to losing administration publicity.In 1960's,along with a series of social,economic,and political crisis took places in Western countries,administration fell into the crisis of being accepted because of its losing publicity. The scholars of new public administration schools sharply criticized the traditional public administration theory that only focused on efficiency and instrumental ration,ignored the value of equality and justice,held the relativity between politics and administration and advocated the democratic administration pattern on the basis of the core value of"society equality". Public administration came back to politics, and finally administration publicity revived."Ostrom's democratic administrative theory displayed the democratic base of publicity,the constitutionalism of which made administration gain publicity,thus defending its legitimate.In 1980's,in order to meet the challenge of new technological revolution,economic globalization, government financial crisis, increasing confidence and low efficiency of management, some Western countries,such Britain and America launched a long-drawn-out new public management movement, which had a strong power to survive. But new public management movement ignored the difference between public and individuals,worshiped blindly"market value",put undue emphasis on efficiency, and ignored the essential value of democratic society."Management Myth"proceeding from"managerialism"is gradually making"publicity"break away from western administration,eventually leading to the decline of administrative publicity.With the development of society, the theory mentioned above is becoming riper and riper, which is an advancing process. In the end of 20 century,human beings stepping into the era of globalization and knowledge economy society,the overwhelming post modernism trend almost has an impact on all subjects,without exception of public administrative sphere. Under such background,the theory of postmodern public administration and new public service comes on stage. Postmodern public administration opens up a new discourse path displaying administration publicity according to its unique discourse theory. New public service keeps developing in the process of criticizing traditional managerialism and new public management and it also incorporates managerialism.When managerialism doesn't prevent publicity being realized,politics and administration merge each other. Therefore,administration publicity develops.Looking back on the 100-year course of Western public administration,the 100-year history of public administration is a process of exploration and improving publicity. In the separation and unity between politics and administration,there is significantly correlated relationship between the separation and unity of politics and administration and the boom and boon of administration publicity,namely"Separation means boon and unity means boom",which provides guidance for Chinese politics and public administration and helps us avoid detours. Establishment of"public government"is a long-term goal in China Therefore,the circle of politics and administrative theory in China should take actions to provide guidance for practice while contributing to effective theory,which is the new mission that the circle of politics and administration must undertake. Tues,we can draw an important conclusion that the publicity is necessary and it is the first beginning of the Pubic Administration,and the publicity is the media of the politic and Administration.
