Abstract :

In the early 1990s, industrial democratic governments had major changes in government structures and in the relationship between government and society. This article attempts to define the nature of the changes using the phrase "Govering the Hollow State" to record the changes that have occurred. The null state is raised as a metaphor for describing the nature of the transfer of power and decentralization of services in the central government to both local governments and third parties - nonprofit organizations and private enterprises - which increasingly operate in the name of the state. Became Since governments with this decentralization failed to achieve the goals they wanted, the term "Govering the Hollow State" was formed, indicating the government's failure to outsource services. These failures were raised at three levels: macro level (loss of government legitimacy), middle level (decentralization in service delivery), and micro level (the roles of government employees). In order to better outsource services and prevent such consequences, governments must, at the same time, devise appropriate monitoring service systems, consider the accountability system as a priority, and be able to simultaneously capture the Governmente, private sector and NGO capabilities Offer as a combination.
