ABSTRACT

UK and France are remarkably different form each other in administering executive agencies, due to the difference of administrative systems. With regard to UK’s Executive Agency and France’s Centre de Responsabilité, the background of introduction is different in realistic factors and theoretical factors. UK regards Executive Agency as a measure of administrative reformation. On the other hand, France considers Centre de Responsabilité as the change of administrative system. UK was directly influenced by New Public Management, but France has been partially influenced by the system. Considering the characteristics of two agencies, UK lays weight on the supplement of outside personages and quantitative values but France attaches importance to the supplement of insiders and qualitative values. UK’s Executive Agency is administered by Cabinet Office and HM Treasury, but France’s Centre de Responsabilité is administered by the offices concerned with general affairs budget. Also, two agencies differ in influence. Executive Agency has a great ripple effect on public sector, but Centre de Responsabilité is restrictive because it is administered at municipality level. Despite such differences, two agencies pursue the same purpose to improve the countermeasures of administrative service as well as the efficiency of public sector.
