Abstract
Text contains the author’s presentation at the International Political Science Association’s XXI World Congress of Political Science in Santiago de Chile, 12-16 July 2009. A composite theoretical frame for comparative analysis of national bureaucracies and public administrative reform policies was presented. It comprises contributions from both neo-institutional theory and organisation theory. It shows significant scientific productivity, enabling us to better understand and interpret similarities and differences between
national bureaucracies and reform policies. A short croquis of the Croatian case was presented. The presentation follows a case study pattern that contains: an outline of the particular administrative system; the phases in its development; the main problems; current reform efforts, including documents on reform policy; perceived environmental influences; and possible future development with the main reform proposals.
