- Abstract
- We examine the experience of the bureaucracy reform in the U.S. federal government. The study involves years of Barack Obama’s democratic administration (2009-2016). We review also the previous attempts of reforms, which determined the starting conditions of present ones. The method is offered for evaluating the development of the public service institute in the context of national socio-economic development (SED). On materials of the World Bank we reviewed the dynamics of empirical indicators characterizing the development of key sectors of the U.S. economy. We also collected the database of key development indicators for the U.S. federal government authorities on the basis of the civil service statistics, and detailed it by sectors of control. It was found that the average values of SED for all sectors improved by 4 per cent for five years while the value of Public Service Development Index increased by 22,4 per cent. There is stagnation in most sectors of the U.S. economy and need for the transformation of the United States civil service. It can occur within the traditional administrative paradigm or be focused on public involvement in the adoption and implementation of government decisions. A variant could be a new wave of privatization, decentralization and deregulation, by analogy with the Ronald Reagan’s era reforms. New president Donald Trump's program suggests the implementation of the second scenario, although it will cause resistance to the Washington bureaucracy. We also analyzed the transformation of the American civil service against the background of similar processes in Russia. It made it possible to identify the common trends and to develop proposals for design of public service reform in Russia.
