Abstract

Dwight Waldo was born in 1913 in the United States of America and died in 2000. In addition, Waldo is a scholar who has put a mark on his works and the thoughts he has put forth in public administration discipline. His book "Administrative State" published in 1948 deeply shook his previous classical public administration theories. In this context, Waldo caused the collapse of the Orthodox concept of public administration and introduced a new perspective in public administration discipline. Waldo's criticism of efficiency, especially the basis of classical public administration, and his attempt to build a democratic public administration theory, and his search for a solution to the identity crisis, especially after the Second World War, led him to lead in discipline. Waldo's critique of positivism and modernity based on public administration, and the new perspective on this framework, are now the basis of postmodern public administration approaches and governance-based theories. In this study, an analysis is made on their basic views and works, examines the role and place of Waldo in the paradigm shift observed in the field of public administration. In addition, other thinkers and researchers have benefited from this work.

Abstract

Dwight Waldo, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD)’nde 1913 yılında doğmuş ve 2000 yılında vefat etmiştir. Buna ek olarak Waldo, kamu yönetimi disiplininde ortaya koymuş olduğu düşünceler ve eserlerle damgasını vurmuş bir akademisyendir. 1948 yılında basılan “İdari Devlet” adlı kitabıyla kendisinden önceki klasik kamu yönetimi teorilerini derinden sarsmıştır. Bu çerçevede Waldo, Ortodoks kamu yönetimi anlayışının çökmesine sebep olmuş ve kamu yönetimi disiplininde yeni bir perspektif ortaya koymuştur. Waldo’nun özellikle klasik kamu yönetiminin temelini oluşturan verimlilik üzerindeki eleştirileri ve demokratik bir kamu yönetimi kuramı inşa etme teşebbüsü ve kamu yönetimi disiplininin özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra maruz kaldığı kimlik krizine çözüm bulma arayışları disiplin açısından kendisinin liderlik etmesine yol açmıştır. Waldo’nun pozitivizm ve modernlik esaslı kamu yönetimi anlayışına getirdiği eleştiriler ve bu çerçevede sunduğu yeni perspektif günümüzde postmodern kamu yönetimi yaklaşımları ve yönetişim esaslı teorilerin temelini oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Waldo’nun kamu yönetimi alanında gözlemlenen paradigma değişimindeki yeri ve önemi incelenerek, temel görüşleri ve eserleri üzerinden bir analiz yapılmaktadır. Ayrıca konu ile ilgili diğer düşünür ve araştırmacıların da eserlerinden yararlanılmıştır.
