Ostdeutsche Verwaltungskultur Im Wandel Paperback

Karsten Rogas

With the end of the GDR, the local governments of the now "new" federal states were built, based on models from the old federal states. This book explores the cultural side of this transformation. From the perspective of the actors, the collective self-descriptions of administrative employees are reconstructed. This happens for the first time in comparison with time. In 1992 and 1996, employees of the city administration of Frankfurt (Oder) were asked about the following topics: room for maneuver and qualifications, relations with the citizens, colleagues and supervisors. The study examines the stability of patterns of perception and interpretation used by respondents to describe themselves and their administrative world.
