This paper aims to analyze the empirical and normative foundations of NWS in order to determine the possible compatibility of this model with the administrative systems of poorly developed continental European (south-eastern European) countries. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of the two management models described in the specialized bibliographic sources was made, then, with the deductive reasoning, with the inductive type, the degree of novelty and viability of the NWS was established. It turned out that in the next 20-30 years public administration is bound to be friendlier to the state than the 1990s, and NWS seems to be one of the most interesting theoretical and normative answers to the question of how to lead or guide a complex society based on innovation where democracy has a complicated position.
