Since the middle of the eighteenth century, political thinkers of all kinds--radical and reactionary, professional and amateur--have been complaining about "bureaucracy." But what, exactly, are they complaining about? In The Demon of Writing, Ben Kafka offers a critical history and theory of one of the most ubiquitous, least understood forms of media: paperwork. States rely on records to tax and spend, protect and serve, discipline and punish. But time and again, this paperwork proves to be unreliable. Examining episodes that range from the story of a clerk who lost his job and then his mind in the French Revolution to an account of Roland Barthes's brief stint as a university administrator, Kafka reveals the powers, the failures, and even the pleasures of paperwork. Many of its complexities, he argues, have been obscured by the comic-paranoid style that characterizes much of our criticism of bureaucracy. Kafka proposes a new theory of what Karl Marx called the "bureaucratic medium." Moving from Marx to Freud, he argues that this theory of paperwork must include both a theory of praxis and of parapraxis.

Pour la plupart des pays de l’OCDE, les mesures visant à réduire les charges administratives dont l’élimination de la paperasserie sont une priorité. Que peuvent faire les autorités publiques ? S’appuyant sur des groupes de réflexion et des comités consultatifs, les autorités attribuent de plus en plus souvent la compétence en la matière à un service de l’administration centrale. Cette démarche, qui mobilise l’ensemble des administrations, marque ces dernières années une étape déterminante, où la simplification administrative s’inscrit dans les dispositifs nationaux en faveur de la qualité de la réglementation.

Les entreprises et les citoyens se plaignent généralement d’un excès de paperasserie. La simplification administrative est un moyen d’améliorer la qualité de la réglementation en réexaminant et en allégeant les formalités réglementaires et administratives.  La plupart des pays de l’OCDE y ont prêté une grande attention cette dernière décennie. L’impératif de compétitivité, de productivité et d’esprit d’entreprise a encore accentué l’urgence de cette amélioration en période de récession.   Jusqu’à aujourd’hui l’action menée pour alléger les charges administratives a essentiellement obéi au souci d’améliorer le rapport coût-efficacité des réglementations administratives, qui font supporter aux administrés des coûts directs et indirects. Un grand nombre de pays achèveront dans quelques années leurs projets en cours. Ils se trouvent aujourd’hui à la croisée des chemins et doivent déterminer comment poursuivre leurs efforts pour qu’ils soient plus efficaces.  Ce rapport se situe dans une perspective d’avenir : il présente différentes options qui s’inscrivent dans les tendances actuelles. Il définit un ensemble d’orientations mettant en lumière les possibilités qui s’offrent et les écueils à éviter lorsqu’il s’agit de concevoir, d’exécuter et d’évaluer un programme de simplification administrative.

A Brookings Institution Press and the Council for Excellence in Government publication The Regulatory Craft tackles one of the most pressing public policy issues of our time--the reform of regulatory and enforcement practice. Malcolm K. Sparrow shows how the vogue prescriptions for reform (centered on concepts of customer service and process improvement) fail to take account of the distinctive character of regulatory responsibilities--which involve the delivery of obligations rather than just services. In order to construct more balanced prescriptions for reform, Sparrow invites us to reconsider the central purpose of social regulation--the abatement or control of risks to society. He recounts the experiences of pioneering agencies that have confronted the risk-control challenge directly, developing operational capacities for specifying risk-concentrations, problem areas, or patterns of noncompliance, and then designing interventions tailored to each problem. At the heart of a new regulatory craftsmanship, according to Sparrow, lies the central notion, "pick important problems and fix them." This beguilingly simple idea turns out to present enormously complex implementation challenges and carries with it profound consequences for the way regulators organize their work, manage their discretion, and report their performance. Although the book is primarily aimed at regulatory and law-enforcement practitioners, it will also be invaluable for legislators, overseers, and others who care about the nature and quality of regulatory practice, and who want to know what kind of performance to demand from regulators and how it might be delivered. It stresses the enormous benefit to society that might accrue from development of the risk-control art as a core professional skill for regulators.
