Abstract

One key aspect in guaranteeing the development and modernization of a country is to have an efficient and competitive public sector. After the fall of communism, Romania engaged into an ongoing process of reforming the public sector. First, it was because of the necessity of shifting from a centralized administration (typical for communist regimes) to a decentralized one (typical for democratic countries). Secondly, due to the accession to international organizations, mainly to the European Union, the Romanian administrative system has been subjected to new changes. The intention of this paper is to analyze if the legislative framework concerning the public administration sector encompasses the principles of the New Public Management. Our hypothesis is that on paper, many of such principles are reflected in the public management legislation. We also argue that due to several reasons (e.g. institutional weakness, corruption etc.), the public administration in Romania does not reach out to the international standards, still being subject to politicization.
