| The transformation of public or govermental organisations has become a strategic issue for the "modernisation" of Mexico, according to country's authorities. However, this "modernisation" project in public sector based on ideas stemming from the so-called New Public Management (NPM), is facing several dilemmas to be implemented successfully. There is a cultural side of this story. A story where the historical understanding of power, control, and use of authority explains why, even if Mexico evolves towards a more institutionalised democracy, some of the managerial reforms would also fail to generate behavioural changes in public sector. The main argument here is that in Mexico, the concepts of control and power are different from those embraced by countries that have generated the basic ideas of today's managerial reforms (USA and Commonwealth countries). Following the track of an old Mexican institution, as old as at least Colonial times, patrimonialism, we can understand the necessity of control of local or particular powers through a centralised one. In addition, patrimonialism generates a permanent tension between central and local powers. The paper defends that these are the basic platform for individual and group behaviour in countries like Mexico, generating particular organisational cultural and political behaviours. | |
