THE EVOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE STATE IN THE UNITED STATES (USA) AND THE IMPACT OF WOODROW WILSON

Öz

Wilson, as a scientist and statesman, has had a great impact on the development of public

administration as an academic discipline and in evolution of the American administrative state.

The two theses Wilson argued in his study have been largely populer in public administration

practice and institutional discussions throughout the relatively short history of public

administration. The first thesis is the separation of politics and administration, the second one is

the development and creation of universal principles of scientific administration that will ensure

efficiency and efficiency in public administration. Even though it is criticized from time to time,

the public administration theory and practices, which was formed in line with Wilson’s ideas and

studies, continues to have a dominant impact on the American public administration. This study

discusses Wilson’s contribution to the evolution of theory and practice of public administration

in the USA within a historical period.

AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ’NDE (ABD) İDARİ DEVLETİN GELİŞİMİ VE WOODROW WILSON’UN ETKİSİ

Öz

Bilim adamı ve devlet adamı olarak Wilson’un çalışmalarının ve düşüncelerinin, kamu yönetiminin

bir akademik disiplin olarak gelişmesinde ve Amerikan devlet yönetiminin tekamülünde

büyük etkisi olmuştur. Wilson’un çalışmasında savunduğu iki tez kamu yönetiminin görece kısa

sayılabilecek tarihi boyunca kamu yönetimi uygulama ve kurumsal tartışmalarında büyük ölçüde

gündemini korumuştur. Bunlardan birincisi siyaset ve yönetim ayrışması, ikincisi ise kamu yönetiminde

verimliliği ve etkinliği sağlayacak evrensel bilimsel yönetim ilkelerinin oluşturulması

ve kamu yönetiminde kullanılmasıdır. Zaman zaman eleştirilmesine karşın Wilson’ın düşünceleri

doğrultusunda oluşturulan kamu yönetimi anlayışı ABD’de etkisini büyük ölçüde devam

ettirmektedir. Çalışmada, Wilson’un ABD’de kamu yönetimi kuramı ve uygulamalarının gelişim

sürecine katkıları tarihsel kesitler halinde ele alınmıştır.
