  • Eurocracy and Tribalism
    Society and Economy, 2004
    Co-Authors: Károly Mike
    Abstract:

    The paper argues that there are several factors suggesting the position and behaviour of eurocrats within member-state administrations to be similar to those of a “tribe” within a large hierarchical organisation. These factors are most clearly present in the East-Central European countries, for reasons including the greater discrepancy between a eurocratic and an ordinary Civil-Service Career, the historically given inability of these countries' governments to participate in the development of EU institutions, and the guidance and close control exercised by the European Commission over the establishment of eurocratic institutions in these countries.

  • EUROCRACY AND TRIBALISM A Source of Conflict within Public Administration in New EU Member States

  • From the Planned Management of Staff, Jobs, and Competencies toward a New Statutory Framework: The Gradual Emergence of a Métier (Profession) in the French Civil Service
    2005
    Co-Authors: Gilles Jeannot
    Abstract:

    The term metier (meaning “profession”) sums up a project of gradual reform in French Civil Service staffing policy. The term was introduced along with methods to plan for changes in staffing and professional know-how by using frames of reference, listing the totality of job types necessary to fulfill all administrative needs, and the competencies associated with them. Analysis of the application of these methods shows the failure to develop a tool to serve as a basis for all human resource management functions. However, the process was useful for meeting the more precise and strategic needs of various ministries: for requalifying Civil servants in posts affected by new technologies or institutional change, for Career management, and in favoring the mobility of Civil servants with support functions for several ministries. In addition, it served as a basis for discussion between those receiving allocations and those responsible for a particular unit, with respect to management control. The main factor was the recognition of the importance of skills and professionalism over and above membership in a corps, or the “profession.” The same idea can be found in a recent report of the Conseil d’Etat, suggesting that those in charge of a particular unit be given the means to choose staff according to professional background and acquired skills rather than according to the status of their original corps. Thus the idea of metier is used to create a link between two moving entities: one, the changing missions of public organizations; the other, the changing missions of individuals in the course of a Career. Reference to metier thus consists more of renewing the model of a Civil Service Career than in questioning its relevance.

  • De la gestion prévisionnelle des effectifs, des emplois et des compétences (GPEEC) aux cadres statutaires : la progressive émergence de la notion de " métier " dans la fonction publique d'Etat en France
    Revue française d'administration publique, 2005
    Co-Authors: Gilles Jeannot
    Abstract:

    The term métier sums up a project of gradual reform in French Civil Service staffing policy. The term was introduced along with methods aiming to plan ahead for changes in staff and professional know-how through the use of "referentials" listing the totality of "job types" necessary to fulfil all administrative needs and the competencies associated with them. An analysis of the actual uses of these methods shows the failure of a plan to develop a tool that could serve as a basis for all human resource management functions. However, the procedure turned out to be operational so far as meeting the more precise and strategic needs of various ministries was concerned : aid in the requalification of Civil servants whose posts might become unnecessary due to new technologies or institutional change, aid in the Career management or in favouring the mobility of Civil servants with support functions for several ministries ; in addition, it served as a basis for discussion between those receiving allocations and those responsible for a particular unit, with a view to management control. On the whole, the main point is the recognition of the importance of skills and professionalism over and above membership in a corps, or the "profession". The same idea can be found in a recent report of the Conseil d'État, suggesting that those in charge of a particular unit be given the means to choose staff according to individuals'professional background and acquired competencies rather than according to the status of their original corps. Thus the idea of métier is used to create a link between two moving entities : on one hand the changing missions of public organizations, on the other the changing missions of individuals in the course of a Career. Reference to métier thus consists more in renewing the model of a Civil Service Career than in questioning its relevance.

  • Experts en Sciences Mathématiques et Projets Impériaux sous le Règne de Kangxi
    Revue de Synthèse, 2010
    Co-Authors: Catherine Jami
    Abstract:

    1713年, 康熙皇帝下旨編纂一本集三種內容, 即數學、 天文曆法和樂律為一體的書。為此, 他通過破格考試選拔了一批讀書人, 并密切關注他們編纂工作的進程。 這些編撰者中只有兩位後來被提拔為高官。 18世紀中期, 國子監開設了數學課。 通過這些方式, 清朝在一些以晉仕為目標的讀書人中納入了專業數學知識的傳授。 En 1713, l’empereur Kangxi ordonne la compilation d’un traité de mathématiques, d’astronomie et d’harmonie musicale. Pour ce projet, il recrute des lettrés par un examen extraordinaire et surveille étroitement leur travail. Seuls deux d’entre eux feront ensuite une carrière de hauts fonctionnaires. Au milieu du xviii ^e siècle, un enseignement de mathématiques est instauré à l’Université impériale. La dynastie Qing a ainsi intégré à la formation de quelques-uns des lettrés, qui visaient à faire carrière dans l’administration, la transmission d’une certaine expertise dans ce domaine. Im Jahr 1713 gab der Kaiser Kangxi ein kompilatorisches Werk zur Mathematik, Astronomie und Harmonielehre in Auftrag. Dafür rekrutierte er in einem außergewöhnlichen Prüfungsverfahren Literaten und überwachte ihre Arbeit minutiös. Nur zwei von ihnen sollten eine Karriere als hohe Funktionäre machen. Gegen Mitte des 18. Jhs. wurde dann an der Kaiserlichen Universität eine mathematische Ausbildung eingeführt. Die Qing-Dynastie integrierte damit die Übertragung einer diesbezüglichen Expertise in die Ausbildung derjenigen Literaten, die auf eine Karriere in der Verwaltung zielten. En 1713, el emperador Kangxi dirige la compilación de un tratado de matemáticas, de astronomía y de armonía musical. Para este proyecto, reclutó letrados con un examen extraordinario, supervisando de cerca su trabajo. Solamente dos de entre harían carrera como altos funcionarios. A mediados del sigo XVIII, una enseñanza en matemáticas se instaura en la Universidad Imperial. La dinastía Qing integró así en la formación de algunos de los letrados, de aquellos que aspiraban a hacer carrera en la administración, la transmisión de un cierto conocimiento experto en este campo. In 1713 the Kangxi emperor commissioned the compilation of a treatise on mathematics, astronomy, and harmonics. For this project, he recruited literati, selecting them by special examination and closely supervising their work. Only two of them went on to have Careers as high officials. In the middle of the 18th century, mathematics began to be taught at the Imperial University. Thus the Qing dynasty established the transmission of a degree of expertise in this field as part of the training of certain literati who aimed at a Civil Service Career.
