Abstract

The argument between Friedrich and Finer in the early nineteen-forties is a historic debate concerning the locus of control over administrative discretion. While Friedrich insisted the inner check over discretionary power was more effective, Finer argued extensive external control over public bureaucracy was necessary. This article analyzes the debate and suggests a negotiation between them. Two factors help bridge the debate: Information Technology (IT) and strong leadership. The case of “Transparent Government” in Seoul, Korea is used as an illustration of both factors.
