Can We Afford to Separate Politics from Administration?
Designing Powers in the Service of Implementation

by Paolo D’Anselmi

This Article investigates the impact of a possible neo-Weberian view of organizational behavior on formulations about the separation of powers. This neo-Weberian view of organizational behavior is called here the ‘administrative behavior hypothesis’ and it leverages one century of scholarship. The results of such an investigation are encouraging, as management sciences may induce changes in the formulation and implementation of law, with an impact on current approaches to constitutional reform, and consequently to economic development across the globe. The administrative behavior hypothesis appears persuasive, and future studies might investigate more avenues, beyond the basic recommendation provided here.
