Summary/Abstract: This article is concerned with the public adminis­tration reform in the Czech Republic. It is concerned with the motives for and the beginning of the reforma­tory process that started at the beginning of the 90's; it is also concerned with its unsystematic and not ve­ry intensive progress. A systematic reforming on the basis of the conception of a public administration re­form which was approved of by the Government has been going on for nearly two years and has already resulted in first passed laws and acts concerning terri­torial administration reform. This reform will be dealt with in the necessary contexts mentioned in this ar­ticle. Public administration reform must, however, be conceived of in a broader context, it must also be considered a change within the very concept and content of public administration activities, a change towards a democratic and open public administration realized in the conditions of a legal state.
