Özet:

 The crisis atmosphere experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic period has created a global-scale shock in the political arena. In this period, the understanding of government that puts efficiency in the center and adopts a populist-partisan style of politics began to be questioned. The spatial and temporal impact of the pandemic as a crisis has also been large-scale. The inadequacy of global organizations in the face of the depth and magnitude of the crisis has once again revealed the importance of nation-states. These developments have led to criticism of the values and norms of government. The study aims to contribute to the literature produced in this field by taking a critical position towards the productivity logic that makes populist-partisan political leadership and clientelist distribution mechanism functional. This study claims that public administration and institutional mechanisms dominated by the logic of public interest can be put forward as a response to the crisis situation. USA is one of countries where efficiency-oriented and populist-partisan political leadership dominate. The study includes the analysis of a speech by Donald Trump during the pandemic. In the first part, strategic management, efficiency and public interest will be emphasized as a conceptual framework, and in the second part, the populist style of politics will be discussed. In the third part, the mentioned speech text will be analyzed. As a result, the possibility of strategic management based on the public interest will be evaluated from a critical perspective.

 Covid-19 pandemisi döneminde yaşanan kriz ortamı, siyasi arenada küresel ölçekli bir sarsıntıyı beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu dönemde verimliliği merkeze alan ve popülist-partizan bir siyaset tarzını benimseyen hükümet etme anlayışı sorgulanmaya başlamıştır. Bir kriz olarak pandeminin mekânsal ve zamansal etkisi de büyük ölçekli olmuştur. Krizin derinliği ve büyüklüğü karşısında küresel örgütlerin yetersizliği, ulus-devletlerin önemini bir kez daha ortaya koymuştur. Bu gelişmeler ışığında hükümet etmenin değer ve normlarına dair eleştiriler de gün yüzüne çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, popülist-partizan siyasi liderliğe ve klientelist dağıtım mekanizmasını işlevsel kılan verimlilik mantığına yönelik eleştirel bir konum alış ve bu alanda üretilen literatüre katkı sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma kamu yararı mantığının hâkim olduğu kamu yönetimi ve kurumsal mekanizmaların etkinliğini koruduğu stratejik bir siyaset tarzının kriz durumuna cevap olarak ileri sürülebileceği iddiasındadır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, hem verimlilik odaklılığın hem de popülist-partizan siyasi liderliğin hâkim olduğu model ülkelerden bir tanesidir. Çalışmanın inceleme nesnesi, Donald Trumpun pandemi dönemindeki bir konuşmasının çözümlenmesidir. İlk bölümde, kavramsal çerçeve olarak, stratejik yönetim, verimlilik ve kamu yararı üzerinde durulacak ikinci bölümde popülist siyaset tarzına dair bir tartışma yürütülecektir. Üçüncü bölümde ise materyal incelemesi yapılacaktır. Sonuç bölümünde eleştirel bir perspektiften kamu yararına dayalı stratejik yönetimin imkânı değerlendirilecektir.
