Public Service Reform In Romania – Strategies For Reducing Bureaucratic Dysfunction Of The Public Service

Abstract

Since the analysis of the reform process in the domain of the public service in Romania has
not been explored often enough, the present paper aims to identify various types of
bureaucratic dysfunctions of public service with special focus on the causes of these
dysfunctions. The paper also points out the strategies and mechanisms proposed by the
government to reform the public service, an area of crucial importance for the activity of
public administration. For a better understanding of the causes of bureaucratic
dysfunctions, the article makes a brief comparative analysis of the solutions of reform
applied by other European states in order to find possible ideas or models that could be also
efficient for the Romanian public administrative system.
