The Present and Future of French National Public Administration System

This study aims to clarify French system of national public administration to find out possible lessons for the future reform of Korean national public administration system. It s highly possible that the French national public administration system, centralized unitary system assisted by local government system like in Korea, is susceptible to cast some lessons for Korean government reform to be launched near future. On the basis of this assumption, this study examined and reconstituted the itinerary of French national administration system reform for the past two decades ; and finally draw out four major perspectives to be conceived for Korean national administration system reform. One, the decentralization launched in France shows clearly that it does not weaken necessarily centralized unitary system. Two, lt s time for both countries to make sure the division of power accompanied by modernization of local taxation system. Three, current tentatives of administrative district integration or abolition, recently launched in Korea, in search of larger administrative jurisdiction can be replaced by divers inter-local governments‘ cooperation like in France. Four, it s necessary in Korea also to strengthen the role and function of special local administrative agencies as these are apt to bridge central and local, public and private actors and institutions, necessary to enhance public service quality and meet the needs of public service clients .
