Beyond Bureaucracy:\nThe Development Agenda\nMaking it to the 21st Century\ndepends on the participation of everyone \nand the re-creation of our major institutions\nan Interview with David C. Korten, by Alan AtKisson\nOne of the articles in Making It Happen (IC#28)\nSpring 1991, Page 26\nCopyright (c)1991, 1996 by Context Institute | To order this issue ...\n\n\nIf your interest is in "making it happen" - participating in the transformation of our societies to a more humane and sustainable way of life - there is one book you simply must read: David Korten's Getting to the 21st Century: Voluntary Action and the Global Agenda. The distillation of nearly three decades of research and field experience, Korten's book is both tightly focused (on the primacy of non-governmental organizations and voluntary action in creating a better world) and expansive (his analysis weaves together such diverse elements as the environment, global economy, governance institutions, and the transformation of consciousness).\n\nBut while Korten's agenda is radical in the truest sense, his roots are decidedly mainstream - M.B.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford University Graduate School of Business; faculty positions at Harvard, the Asian Institute of Management, and other institutions; on staff at the Ford Foundation; and consultant to the US Agency for International Development [AID]. And his message - despite its challenge to the legitimacy of some of the world's most entrenched bureaucracies - is being heard.\n\nKorten is now Founder and President of the People-Centered Development Forum, "a voluntary organization ... to encourage and support the definition and pursuit of a people-centered development vision as a global citizens' movement." We are pleased to announce that he is also the newest contributing editor to IN CONTEXT. In this lengthy and wide-ranging interview, he traces the development of his thinking and sketches out the critical elements of an action agenda for getting to the 21st Century. His book is available from Kumarian Press, 630 Oakwood Ave., Suite 119, West Hartford, CT 06110 ($19.95 postpaid).\n\nAlan: Development has, in the West at least, been considered too big for anyone but government to tackle. But in your book, you argue persuasively that such thinking is inherently flawed - and that, in fact, it leads to disaster.\n\nDavid: Right. We have to think of development as a people's movement, not as a government-funded project. Development issues relate to values and relationships - which you cannot buy with government funding.\n\nThat's a trap we've gotten into - we think government can correct these things for us. But we cannot expect our "leaders" - in quotes - to provide the necessary leadership. What we see now demonstrated is quite the opposite - our current leadership is taking us very skillfully and powerfully in exactly the wrong direction with great intent.\n\nAlan: How did you come to these conclusions, and move from large institutional settings such as USAID to developing something like the People-Centered Development Forum? What was the evolutionary pathway?\n\nDavid: My start in the international development business was actually in business management and management education. The shift began when I was the academic director of INCAE, the Central American management institute. We were studying the family planning programs of El Salvador and Nicaragua, and one of the critical influences on my thinking was seeing how the structures of those systems thwarted any effort to both generate client demand and be responsive to it. The nature of bureaucratic organizations made such responsiveness impossible.\n\nSo, once back in the US, I began working with people from Third World management institutes and the heads of national family planning programs in a major effort to improve management in these programs. Some of us reached the conclusion that one of the important f

bureaucratic monster IMMIGRATION\n\n\nAs I have mentioned many times before. ICE.... INS.... whatever they call themselves these days needs to be completely torn down and edified with specific departments with specific job details... They must be held accountable for their work ethics. You for example as a law abiding citizen (hopefully) do not have racist reasons for reporting someone does not even know who to report them too.... This bureaucratic monster of a department does not serve the Public in its work... nor does it serve its purpose in granting work permits for those who have applied.... what good are they? They have the attitude that I will get to them when I get to them not just to the people who they are supposed to serve .... But to the USA citizen who in essence supplies them with that paycheck that they do not earn..... Heads up...... Rebuild this monster of a department while building this wall across the border.

Assuming that you're speaking of government, there is an executive at the head of every geographic subdivision (i.e., country, state, county, city/town/borough).  In the U.S., these are the president, governors, and mayors or city managers.  they essentially manage a huge staff of people whose function it is to oversee the safety, health, education, and social welfare of the people who live in the "subdivision" (called "constituents") and execute all functions that keep these areas appropriately afloat.
