In many countries, the discrepency between the roles taken on by goverments and the resources that they were able to mobilize surfaced itself as great budget deficits and national depts at the end of 1970s. This crisis caused a new reform vave based on the model of minimalist govertment. But this new minimal role of the government in public life has resulted in the beginning of a new crisis especially in developing countries. All of these have shown that for solution is to make the government an effective entity is a necessary. In trying to make the goverment an effective entity, successful public management reforms have been put into practice in by industrialized. These successes have affected the attidues of developing countries in this respect. With the application of such public reforms, the goverments have been made more effective.
