This extensive book critically examines and contrasts the civil
service systems of eight diverse Asian countries; Bangladesh,
China, India, Japan, Laos, the Philippines, South Korea and
Thailand, using a common comparative framework. The authors compare
the civil service systems in each country discussing several
factors including historical development, internal labour markets,
degree of representativeness, level of politicization, the effect
of public opinion, the impact of reform and diffusion and their
place in two popular configurations of civil service systems.The
authors go on to demonstrate the utility of comparative research by
analysing the findings of the country studies and comparing the
Asian countries against each other and the Asian experience as a
whole against that of the West. They discover that there are
considerable differences between the Asian civil service systems,
illustrated by the degree to which political parties penetrate the
civil service and the extent to which government agencies act as
employers of last resort. Other conclusions drawn highlight the
fact that in spite of many similarities, there are also sizeable
differences between Asian and Western civil services, including a
lack of political neutrality in many Asian countries. Civil Service
Systems in Asia will be of great interest and value to academics
and advanced level students in public administration, law,
political science and Asian studies.
