摘要

本文旨在對西方先進國家所提供之當代行改革新的理論與實務，做有系統地歸納和分析，特別是對新公共管理的走向和趨勢，做批判性分析。再者，本文以英國和亞太地區做為個案分析，來評估先進國家的新公共管理趨勢和理論，是否已帶動了亞太地區行政革新的走向，另一方面，是否能為亞太地區或發展中國家提供有效的革新藍圖，亦或只是一種時尚的國際性活動。本文認為發展中國家的最終問題，仍然停留在治理的問題，如果無法有效強化治理能力，或是公私之間的合作，不論是行政革新或是新公共管理，將會誤用西方的革新模式；如此一來，即使有再多的努力，終將是南柯一夢。

While discussion on the reform movement offers an overview, the early reforms of the older states in Europe and America provide background for the contemporary administrative reform theories and practices towards new public management, and produce a specific focus for the paper.This paper aims to provide a theoretical and practical background to the study by firstly reviewing literature on the subject of administrative reform in general, and, secondly, evaluating relationships between the theoretical and conceptual issues raised therein and the reform experiences in the UK, and in Asia Pacific countries. However, one would be mistaken in assuming that Western experience was valued on1y for the democratic accountabi1ity and economic success of Western systems. The prob1em remains as to which are usefu1 to copy, and how to adapt innovations to the real situation of the given country with its specific conditions and circumstances. In addition, 10ts of efforts have been put into administrative reform in many other developing countries; however, results still fall short of expectations.
