Book Description
This book highlights the main factors determining the quality of public administration in conflict affected countries; and assesses to what extent the conflict determines and impacts on the performance of public administration in affected countries. The main value added by this book is confirming the general expectation that there is no direct and universal link between the conflict and public administration performance (and vice-versa). One may need to argue that each country situation differs and specific factors of internal and external environments determine the trends of public administration performance in conflict affected countries. To achieve the overarching goal of the book, sixteen country studies were developed from all relevant continents - America, Africa, Asia and Europe: Bangladesh, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

Handbook of Research on Global Challenges for Improving Public Services and Government Operations
Author: Babao?lu, Cenay
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799849791
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
As the field of public administration has been changing due to globalization, government reforms, and increasing governance practices within intergovernmental networks, research and teaching in public administration also adapted itself to these changes. Public policy research and instruction has become transformed and has diffused into other countries with the help of international organizations and other agents of change and transfer. Research in this field is seen as an opportunity for a definitive shift from traditional models of public administration in the sense that policies may be better designed, articulated, and governed through a collaborative approach, while service provision could be enhanced in terms of proximity, representativeness, and innovativeness. The Handbook of Research on Global Challenges for Improving Public Services and Government Operations provides comprehensive approaches to the study of public administration and public policy from a comparative perspective and includes sound theories and concepts for understanding opportunities and challenges governments face when seeking to improve public services and government operations. The book is a compilation of selective high-quality chapters covering cases, experiences, and practical recommendations on topics related to public administration, public policy, social policy, public management, and public affairs. This book is ideal for policymakers, students, and researchers in the field of public administration, public policy, governance, public management, public affairs, citizen engagement, and administrative sciences and management along with practitioners, stakeholders, and academicians interested in the best practices of various countries in public administration and policy.

Paths Between Peace and Public Service
Author: Jürgen René Blum
Publisher: Directions in Development
ISBN: 9781464810824
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Building a capable public service is fundamental to postconflict state building. Yet in postconflict settings, short-term pressures often conflict with this longer-term objective. To ensure peace and stabilize fragile coalitions, the imperative for political elites to hand out public jobs and better pay to constituents dominates merit. Donor-financed projects that rely on technical assistants and parallel structures, rather than on government systems, are often the primary vehicle for meeting pressing service delivery needs. What, then, is a workable approach to rebuilding public services postconflict? Paths between Peace and Public Service seeks to answer this question by comparing public service reform trajectories in five countries--Afghanistan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Timor-Leste--in the aftermath of conflict. The study seeks to explain these countries' different trajectories through process tracing and structured, focused methods of comparative analysis. To reconstruct reform trajectories, the report draws on more than 200 interviews conducted with government officials and other stakeholders, as well as administrative data. The study analyzes how reform trajectories are influenced by elite bargains and highlights their path dependency, shaped by preconflict legacies and the specifics of the conflict period. As the first systematic study on postconflict public service reforms, it identifies lessons for the future engagement of development partners in building public services. "Rebuilding the bureaucracy is possibly the most underappreciated policy and research question in fragile states today. This is one of the most politically astute and thoughtful books I've read on postconflict policy making of any kind." --Christopher Blattman, Ramalee E. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies, Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts, Harris Public Policy, University of Chicago "Rebuilding states after conflict is the greatest challenge in development today. And yet we know precious little about the actual experience of countries that have tried to rebuild their civil service and restore public services. This is a monumental study based on extensive empirical data and field-based research across multiple cases that actually opens up the black box of state building in conflict-affected countries. It should be required reading for anyone who takes on this extraordinary challenge." --Joel S. Hellman, Dean, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University "There isn't a more pressing problem in international development than formulating practical strategies for building institutions in fragile states. This book is a remarkable distillation of the frontline experiences of the World Bank in tackling this task. Finally, we have the basis for an empirically grounded assessment of what works and why. Unputdownable." --James Robinson, Reverend Dr. Richard L.

Book Description
The fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) and small island developing states (SIDS) approach represents a new way of doing business for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in its most vulnerable developing member countries. FCAS and SIDS face unique development challenges such as a greater need for governance and institutional capacity building, geographic isolation, small populations, narrow asset bases, and armed conflict. The FCAS and SIDS approach—or FSA—introduces flexible processes and procedures that will allow ADB to tailor interventions to the specific challenges of these countries, with the goal of improving project results, and ultimately improving livelihoods.

Entrepreneurial and Demographic Challenges in Economic Development of EU Candidate Countries
Author: Vemi?, Milan B.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
The economic development of EU candidate countries is shaped by entrepreneurial and demographic challenges that significantly influence their integration into the European Union. As these nations aim for growth and stability, they face various obstacles characterized by shifting demographic profiles, including aging populations and human migration. Fostering an effective entrepreneurial system is essential for increased innovation and job creation. Navigating these challenges requires specific policies that support small and medium-sized enterprises while addressing socio-economic disparities and demographic trends that hinder sustainable development. Further understanding of this relationship is pivotal for creating strategies that promote economic growth and foster the successful integration of these countries into the European Union. Entrepreneurial and Demographic Challenges in Economic Development of EU Candidate Countries explores solutions for the economic improvement of European Union country candidates through entrepreneurship and demographics. The effectiveness of sustainable business management practices on global organizations are examined. This book covers topics such as management science, capitalism, and sociology, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymakers, economists, business owners, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
