The field of public administration currently lacks sufficient
resources for understanding the rationale, implications, and
inherent practices of reforming government administration around
the world.The Handbook of Administrative Reform satisfies this need
by bringing together diverse international experts to analyze the
sensible processes and intervention strategies central to
administrative reform in nine nations geographically located in
North America, Europe, and Latin America.
Organized into five related parts, the text begins by examining
factors that influence administrative reform-most notably, pressure
to adhere to the institutional, international, and supranational
standards promulgated by globalization, the European Union, and the
United Nations. Subsequent sections further support this hypothesis
by delving into specific case studies of founding and early EU
members, new EU members, and EU applicant nations. After a thorough
exploration of North America and Latin America, the volume
concludes with a challenge to public administrators around the
globe to continue the noble cause of advancing democracy through
accountable, transparent, and responsive reform.
