520			_aAdministrative reform has been an important issue for several decades in Western countries. Like other Western countries, Portugal developed an increasing interest in administrative reform. This article is a contemporary analysis of Portuguese administrative reform. It introduces the Portugese system and outlines its major features. Briefly stated, the decrease in State expenditure is represented by the proletarization of the middle class that lives off the state; there is an increase in party clientelism, since the old systems based on legal statutes are subject to flexibilization; and, finally, privatizations increase economic monopolies because the regulatory agencies do not work. This means that if this th erapy was to be applied to small countries like Portugal, it could have serious consequences for Europe. - Reproduced.
