This book compares contemporary civil service systems across East
and Southeast Asia, a dynamic region of greater diversity in local
administrative tradition, imported models of modern administration,
and the character of prevailing political institutions. Featuring
chapters on Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, this
book provides a detailed analysis of key aspects of the civil
service system, including centralization, recruitment,
classification, openness of positions, performance assessment,
promotion, training, and senior civil service. It distinguishes
four modes of public employment, namely, bureaucratization,
professionalization, politicization, and marketization, to develop
a conceptual framework for comparing the civil service system at
the operational level. The region's contemporary civil service
systems appear to be hybrid systems that combine, at varying
degree, these modes of public employment, responding to
administrative reform pressures. The patterns of public employment
across East and Southeast Asia reflect local administrative
traditions, imported Western models of administration, and the
relative timing of democratization and bureaucratization. With
contributions from leading local experts across the region, this
book will be invaluable to students, scholars, and practitioners
interested in Asian public administration, especially civil service
systems.
