Societies change through external pressures from a changing environment, or immanently from the internal cultural dynamic that naturally occurs within social agencies. As a result these political, security, social, economic and other changes are needed that present challenges to public administration. Consequently, public administration must adapt and identify the development of new policies and functions. Of critical importance to the state are the preeminent public institutions that are part of the development process. The outcomes are the result of both public policy and government efficacy. Organizational adaptability involves the anticipation of the future, where adaptation is an internal process that is prompted by environmental change and self-production. The capacity of an agency to adapt is affected by efficacy which conditions it to be effective and efficient. Efficacy is therefore a precondition for successful adaptability and the ability to adapt is a consequence of efficacy. Inefficacy, through its bounding effect on an agency's intelligences, sets limits to its capability of achieving high levels of performance in organizations. Efficacy can be examined in terms of a cybernetic model of a cognitive social agency, allowing distinctions to be made between public policy objectives and the resulting outputs, this thus enabling proposed measurement of efficacy.
This paper aims to explain some forms of development and the relationship between development adaptations. Development has a cultural perspective, and culture can be explored in terms of the relationship between institutional values and norms. Changes in internal and external climate affect and challenge prevailing culture, which includes values, beliefs, and norms. These changes (socio-cultural) have an impact on the social meaning, norms, and development of society. Development within a socio-political context is defined in terms of institutional processes, enabling a wide class of complex situations to be addressed. Development is an adaptive attribute of a changing socio-political agency with interactive ties to its environment. It is connected to globalization, which is part of that environment, as the global COVID-19 pandemic or Ukraine war clearly shows. The period of change creates instability and cultural uncertainty because values may become confused, and so, sociocultural processes may become a liquid society. The changes challenge public administration, public policy, and their capacity to answer changing situations. This study uses Bauman’s idea of a liquid society and Yolles’ Cultural Agency Theory (CAT). A political agent will be generically modeled using CAT, and the neo-institutional processes and their capacity for development will be explored.
