The module examines the problems arising out of the transplantation of foreign administrative models in the Greek State with respect to the influence of the administrative tradition. Moreover, the functioning principles of the Greek public administration are examined over time (responsibility, obedience, hierarchy, oath, legislative codifications). The weaknesses of the Greek public administration (corruption, administrative harassment, administrative evil, guerillas of administration) are also examined. Moreover, fields of administrative intervention with specific characteristics (e.g., water management, migration) are presented.
