Public Administration in Conflict Affected Countries

Beschreibung

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.

Purshottama Sivanarain Reddy is Senior Professor and Subnational Governance Specialist at the University of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.  

Juraj Nemec is Professor at the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, and at the Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia.

‘Following 73 years of implementation of the UN Program on Public Administration, this book is a rich empirical policy resource and reference for effective public administration as an instrument of state action against conflict and violence which are still curtailing development in many countries. It is a useful resource for scholars, researchers, policy makers, and public sector leaders at local, national, regional and global levels in the international effort for people-centred peaceful sustainable development’.—John-Mary, Kauzya, Chief of Public Service Innovation Branch, Division for Public Institutions and Digital Governments, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. ‘Even absent the economic and political trauma of a worldwide pandemic, the intensifying polarization characterizing many countries, combined with the rise of an increasingly demagogic brand of populism, makes it evident that all governments are far more fragile than often imagined. Consequently, the excellent worldwide collection of case studies of governance in “conflict affected countries” pulled together by two leading scholars of comparative public administration, Juraj Nemec and Purshottama S. Reddy, has important relevance for citizens, practitioners and scholars in every country where effective governance is a priority’.  —Allan Rosenbaum, President, American Society for Public Administration
