Abstract

United States is one of the leading countries in the world as a political, social, and economic power and has a complicated, unique administrative, and political system. The features of US public administration need to be examined within its context. The US has an efficient bureaucratic structure and has a unique, dynamic, and pragmatic structure that is transformational, innovative, and even comparable to the private sector. States have their own constitutions and these constitutions regulate the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches of the federated states. Governors are elected and their powers are also very similar to the president. CEOs like professional city managers or strong mayoral models have been created in the states. The US civil service system is derived from a complicated set of foreign and national influences. The scope of the non-profit sector is also one of the most significant and powerful ones among developed countries. The US currently offers one of the most successful models with its political system, administrative structures, market mechanisms, and NGOs.
