Abstract

The “systemic acquis” wording revalorises the concepts used in building the European Union. By similarity with these, the public administration’s systemic acquis will include the concepts, theories and fundamental results belonging to the General Theory of Systems and applying to the administrative systems. For the public administration, their systemic acquis will also grasp a specific of their evolution and manifestation. The social systemic, mainly developed by the French specialised schools, the organisational theories and the cybernetics will form adjacent theories that will complete the domain and content of the systemic acquis wording. The present manuscript is, in fact, an introduction to this complex issue and it can be completed by new contributions that shape a science of the public administration’s systems
