Abstract :The varying degrees and levels of political institutional resilience in different countries determine diverse targets of administrative reforms. The historical modernising experience of authority-centralised societies in Latin American and East Asian countries seems to prove that government-led process of modernisation may get a rapid economic development successfully. This article tries to answer a question about modernisation transformation of politico- administrative institution in some authority-led regimes: Does exist a paradigm of authoritarian transformation? As modernisation is a comprehensive, systemic and integrative institutionalisation, traditional authoritarian regimes could utilise their advantages on political mobilisation and non-institutionalised administration via campaign-style governance. Specifically, campaign- style or mobilisation-style governance is starting a superficial and nominal authoritarian legitimacy or institution, by means of top-down rule-of-directive or rule-of-mandate with numerous traditional and irrational methods of ruling, breaking through original situations, such as tradition, culture, institution and structure, then amplifying and improving the breach always acting as a new starter of institutionalisation.
