Abstract

Modern society is highly reformistic. There are many attempts at generating agreement between the way things ought to be and the way they are – between ideals and practice. We live in what has been called an organization society. Part of this organization is the system of public administration. The aim of the paper is to present comparative perspective on the dimension of emerging administrations understood as changes and reforms that suffer the Italian and Romanian public administration under the pressure of the European Union rules. The study is using the concept of emergence to research and to analyze the nature of the changes in the public administration starting from the approach of the systems theory.
