“…Transformational leadership, for example, is a charismatic style that helps answer the call for change in organizations (e.g., improved effectiveness), the need of organizations to adapt to ever-changing external factors (e.g., funding), and the need to motivate and empower a workforce during times of uncertainty (e.g., economy conditions) (Shafritz et al 2007;Northouse 2010). This is because transformational leaders are visionary, innovative, inspirational and sensitive to the needs of followers (Trottier et al 2008;Wright and Pandey 2009;Northouse 2013).…”

“…Quiere decir ello que, dentro del ordenamiento constitucional colombiano, es posible y atinado que se opte por la construcción de una política pública tendiente al logro de la paz. Ahora bien, una declaración en este sentido implica, en concreto, que el gobierno debe hacer algo para materializar el programa que pretende llevar a cabo (SHAFRITZ; RUSSELL; BORICK, 2015). En una definición más minuciosa y, tal vez, más cercana a la realidad que pretendemos comentar, se ha señalado:…”

“…A su vez, como recuerdan los autores citados, todo en este ciclo está decididamente influenciado por el entorno político (SHAFRITZ; RUSSELL; BORICK, 2015). Dicho lo anterior, y habiendo definido prima facie que la construcción de paz es una política pública, resulta interesante analizar cómo sucedieron estas fases que han sido categorizadas por la doctrina.…”

La paz como política pública y la legitimación democrática de los acuerdos. Revista da Faculdade de Direito UFPR, Curitiba, PR, Brasil, v. 62, n. 2, p. 209 -225, maio/ago. 2017 RESUMENEn el presente artículo se analiza el proceso que ha desembocado en la refrendación del Acuerdo de Paz entre el gobierno colombiano y las Farc. A partir de la afirmación de que la paz es una política pública, nos dedicamos a observar cómo se han desarrollado en este caso las distintas etapas que conforman el ciclo teórico de las políticas públicas. Particularmente, nos detenemos a examinar el papel determinante que cumple la ciudadanía, a través del diálogo con las instituciones en la construcción de las políticas públicas y de qué manera ha sido involucrada en las diferentes etapas de este proceso de paz en Colombia. Sostenemos que la participación activa a través de espacios constantes, periódicos e institucionalizados de discusión con todos los sectores de la sociedad es un factor clave para legitimar democráticamente el resultado que pueda arrojar la implementación de este Acuerdo. PALABRAS CLAVE ABSTRACTThis article analyzes the process that has led to the endorsement of the Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Based on the assertion that peace is a public policy, we focus on how the different stages that make up the theoretical cycle of public policies have developed in this case. In particular, we examine the determining role of citizenship, through dialogue with institutions in the construction of public policies, and how it has been involved in the different stages of this peace process in Colombia. We hold that active participation through constant, regular and institutionalized spaces of discussion with all sectors of society is a key factor in democratically legitimizing the outcome that may result in the implementation of this agreement.

“…In other words, serving customers well must be the first priority in the operations of bureaucratic organizations. This idea can be explained more clearly through the agency theory (Wood & Waterman, 1994, as cited in Shafritz & Hyde, 2004) in which the elected leaders play the role as "buyers" using the law to establish services while bureaucrats are "sellers" who provide services to the public. In the democracy of the U.S., according to Wood and Waterman (1994), bureaucracies "perform an integrative function...…”

Despite different views on the existence and development of bureaucracy, bureaucracy is still powerful. The control and influence of bureaucracy in public organizations are still undeniable. This paper explains reasons for the power of bureaucracy. The history for the growth of bureaucracy and the nature of bureaucracy has created strength for bureaucracy. Values such as hierarchy, impersonality, and expertise of bureaucracy are the core mechanisms of bureaucracy. These elements make rational contributions to the development of an organization. The paper asserts that the strength of bureaucracy is undeniable. However, its power is also challenged by its own weaknesses. For instance, rules and regulations, many demands of paperwork (the files), permission, and acceptance from different agencies make bureaucracy become rigid and slow down the implementation process. Its power is more threatened by the development of networks and hollow state, which are more flexible and adapted. Nevertheless, the paper concludes that the power of bureaucracy still exists. Bureaucracy will be powerful if its weaknesses are solved.There should be more focus on dealing with the weaknesses of bureaucracy rather than finding another mechanism that can replace bureaucracy.
