This article takes a close look at the Giorgio Agamben’s argument that the governmental machine of the Western world for two millennia has consisted of two poles of sovereignty and government, as an attempt to track down the beginning of the public administration. With its aim of refuting the traditional assertion regarding the dichotomy of politics and public administration, this study considers Agamben’s economic theology as providing us with a fresh perspective that can both broaden and deepen the research on the origin of public administration. Specifically, power operates as a bipolar machine, it articulates the transcendent pole of sovereignty and the immanent pole of administration, kingdom and government, auctoritas and potestas, political theology and economic theology. This is the structure of what Agamben calls the governmental machine. In this article, I reconstruct Agamben’s archaeology of economic theology as developed in The Kingdom and the Glory, tracing the signature of secularization to explain the overwhelming domination of the public administration and the operations of the governmental machine. I focus on the paradigm of oikonomia and its implications for the understanding of the articulation between sovereignty and governmentality. I conclude the article by indicating that Agamben’s account of the bipolar machine of power can easily face the dilemma coming out of his methodology of presuppositional argument. In other word, for Agamben there is no way out of the myth, “the king reigns, but does not govern,”
