Description
Summary:Public administration is re-conceptualized based on the Social Systems Delimitation Theory, which focuses the society politically articulated considering the concept of the human being, as the main actor in the construction of society. Models of public administration are discussed herein, considering this re-conceptualization aiming at showing it as complementary to one another and to the co-production network of public goods from which they are a part of. Human existence fulfills itself in multiple spaces, each of which has its own needs and exigencies. These models of public administration apply to this social reality. When analyzed under this perspective, such models are complementary to one another, each one with its own space of applicability in a politically articulated society; consequently, public good is co-produced in network, and these models are a part of this network, as well as of the other community stances, of which society consists of. In sum, some considerations on research and study on admiistration are made based on these models of public administration as complementary strategies for co-production of public good.
