Course Objectives The way to better understand the bureaucracy debates carried out today is through understanding the debates in the period that can be caled as 'bureaucracy age' in which bureaucracy was used as a transformative-organized force. For this reason, the course will cover the period between the early 19th century and the 1970s, when bureaucracy debates were most intense. However, in order to shed light on the current debates, a few readings were also included in the course, which would shed light on the global elite and bureaucratic elite discussions.
Course Content State and Bureaucracy is a course designed for the undergraduate program and aims to provide graduate-doctoral students with the basic discussion and discussion platforms on the bureaucracy debates in the literature with the help of primary sources. Until the 1980s, the phenomenon of bureaucracy was at the center of the discussions both in the literature and in bureaucracy. In this context, the bureaucracy creates a plane that almost divides the theoretical discussions into two. Again, especially until the 1970s, bureaucracy was in a dominant position in practice and theory due to both welfare states and real socialist practices. It can be said that although anti-bureaucratic views have been expressed intensely until these dates, their power of influence on implementation is relatively weak. In the mid-1970s and especially after the 1980s, parallel to the reshaping of public organization, an 'anti-bureaucratic' view prevailed in both theory and the bureaucratic elite itself, and the view that bureaucracy was a phenomenon that should be reduced and if possible eliminated without being discussed, has started. In the post-1975 literature that can be seen as contemporary public administration theories, bureaucracy discussions are no longer a plane that divides them into two.
Learning Outcomes (LO) 1- To examine the bureaucracy approach theoretically and practically in various management systems, especially until the 1970s. 2- To reveal the differences between the period when bureaucracy was used as a transformative-organized power and today's approach to bureaucracy. 3- To analyze the basic parameters of the process from "bureaucracy age" to "anti-bureaucracy".
