Summary:Should we Abandon or Strengthen the Weberian State ? The merchant economy model, new public management, and network governance tend to blur the Weberian state model. Nonetheless, the imperatives of democratic control, of accountability and responsibility — the basic principles underlying the professionalism and ethics of civil servants — take priority over the efficiency emphasized by the merchant model and “democratization” promised by “new governance”. Contrary to what is often heard, the Weberian model continues to serve as a basis for reforms. But it is especially in its links with democracy that it remains most useful today.
