Bureaucracy and Socio-Economic Management in a Depressed Economy BUREAUCRATIE ET GESTION SOCIO-ÉCONOMIQUE DANS UNE ÉCONOMIE STAGNANTE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: This paper examined the role of bureaucracy in socio-economic management in a depressed economy, using Nigeria as a case study. The logic and validity of the proposition that bureaucracy is the nucleus of governmental management has long been acknowledged by scholars of development administration. The contributions of such scholars have led to the realization that without a vibrant and dynamic bureaucracy, national socio economic development in less developed societies will nose-dive. The need for vibrant and dynamic bureaucracy in Nigeria cannot be overemphasised taking into cognisance the parochial political culture of the country. Again, the dominance of the political system by the amateur political class places heavy task on the bureaucracy in ensuring the proper functioning of the governmental system. However there are challenges facing bureaucracy in Nigeria which include cold war between bureaucrats and the politicians and the absence of national ideology amongst others. The paper concluded that for effective socio-economic development of the country, the political and the bureaucratic elites should work together as partners in nation building. This can only be attained with a clear national ideology and in a situation where each appreciates the role of the other and work within the limits of each boundary as spelt out by the law of the land. Key words: Bureaucracy; Ideology; Parochial political culture Resume: Cet article examine le role de la bureaucratie dans la gestion socio-economique dans une economie stagnante, en prenant le Nigeria comme un cas d’etude. La logique et la validite de la proposition que la bureaucratie est le noyau de la gestion gouvernementale sont reconnues depuis longtemps par des specialistes de l'administration du developpement. Les contributions de ces specialistes ont conduit a la prise de conscience que sans une bureaucratie vivante et dynamique, le developpement socio-economique nationale dans les societes moins developpees va descendre en pique. La necessite d'une bureaucratie vibrante et dynamique au Nigeria ne peut pas etre surestimee en tenant compte de la culture politique paroissiale du pays. La domination de la classe politique amatrice dans le systeme politique pose de nouveau des tâches lourdes sur la bureaucratie en assurant le bon fonctionnement du systeme gouvernemental. Cependant, il y a des defis auxquels sont confrontes la bureaucratie au Nigeria, telles que la guerre froide entre les bureaucrates et les politiciens et l'absence d'ideologie nationale entre autres. L’article conclut que pour un developpement socio-economique effectif du pays, les elites politiques et bureaucratiques doivent travailler ensemble en partenariat dans la construction de la nation. Ce ne peut etre atteint qu’avec une ideologie nationale claire et dans une situation ou chacun apprecie le role de l'autre et travaille dans les limites de chaque frontiere en conformite avec la legislation nationale. Mots cles: Bureaucratie; Ideologie; Culture politique paroissiale

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
