Politicization of Public Administration. The Case of Staff Councils of Civil Servants
Abstract
This article examines the problem of politicization of Greek public administration focusing on the case of staff councils of civil servants, an institution which was established in order to ensure the right of tenure and professional integrity of civil servants. Staff councils’ composition has taken various forms over the years, reflecting respective political circumstances and objectives. In this paper an effort is being made to explore whether practices of clientelism are still taking place regarding the appointment of staff councils’ members and the early termination of their duty, in the context of recent administrative reforms (2010-2017) concerning top ranking officials’ selection.
