The Public Administration of Athens and the Making of the Modern Greek State (The Genesis of Public Administration) - Softcover
Book 6 of 7: The Genesis of Public Administration
Synopsis
This latest volume in the Genesis of Public Administration series turns the tools of administrative analysis on two governments separated by twenty-four centuries: the participatory state of classical Athens and the austerity governance of modern Greece during the debt crisis. Athens staffed its offices by lot through sortition, vetted every official before service through the dokimasia, audited each one on leaving office through the euthynai, and ran its daily business through the Council of 500. Modern Greece administered a rescue under the supervision of foreign creditors. Reading both as problems in administration rather than episodes in political theory, this book holds each system to a single standard: every administrative achievement carries a human cost, and neither the achievement nor the cost may be permitted to erase the other. The argument gives clear attention to what participation secured and to the hierarchy it rested on, including the labor of women, resident foreigners, and slaves.
Written for scholars of public administration, political scientists, and historians, the book traces how amateur citizen government gave way to the professional, salaried bureaucracy of the Hellenistic kingdoms, a shift that answered the hard problem of scale at the price of the participation that had given the citizen his stake in the state. It draws a disciplined structural parallel between the Macedonian conquest that hollowed the Athenian offices and the creditor intervention that constrained the modern Greek state, insisting throughout that the resemblance instructs by analogy and never by descent. The result is a work that treats administrative design as a decision about the conditions under which people live. Whether the office is filled by lot or the budget is set in a distant room, the measure of any administration is the condition in which it leaves the governed, and that measure joins the ancient city to the modern state in a single, enduring inquiry into administrative power and civic life.
