In the second part, new phenomena in the sociology of public administrations will be focused on the basis of the previously discussed theories. Here, empirical studies on new trends in public sector reforms will be presented and discussed. Thematically, the studies are centered on unintended consequences of public sector reforms which try to introduce transparent and market-oriented principles into bureaucratic organizations. Here, the following questions might arise: what side effects emerge in transparent public administrations and should organizations always be transparent for outsiders? Do universities and hospitals need managers and how powerful are they? Can schools be managed like companies? What expectations lie behind the idea of standardizing and supervising bureaucratic decisions and how does it work in reality? The examples will be reforms of local administrations, education and health services.
