Abstract: Different authors at different times have given an unequal definition to the term of public administration compared to what it is used today. The author Georges Vestel has defined the public administration as �the set of activities aimed at maintaining the public peace and meeting other needs of the general interest. This definition corresponds to the etymology of the term administration - �administration� which means �to serve�. But Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his work, Social Charter, defined the public administration under the government term. He stated that: �I call a government or a supreme administration the legitimate exercise of the executive power. Some authors use �administrative� and �executive� terms in an alternate way, with the same meaning. Other authors make a clear distinction between terms. They define the state administration as �an activity which is carried out for the concrete fulfilment of the functions of the state and the duties of the organs of the state administration�. So these authors distinguish the state administration from the executive activity which the executive bodies perform. The paper aims to suggest a set of strategies and improvements by starting from a theoretical background of the definition of power balance and separation in public administration and governing bodies and its evolutionary definition over time, and by reflecting those findings as a set of suggestions, by considering the actual Albanian Code of Administrative procedures, strategies and practices.
