Providing context-specific regional and national perspectives, this
novel Handbook sets out to disentangle the considerable
intellectual ambiguities that surround Asian public administration
and Asia's diverse applications of Western administrative models.
Building a holistic understanding of public administration systems
across East, Southeast and South Asia, chapters explore the various
historical formations, contemporary changes, and impacts of local
contexts. It also covers social accountability, performance and
human resource management, and the role of local governments. An
international range of leading scholars track the gradual embrace
of market-driven reforms in Asian public policy and administration,
including privatisation, agencification, outcome-based performance,
and customer choice. With its cross-regional and cross-national
comparisons finding divergences in these reforms, the Handbook's
most significant revelation highlights the impacts of national
political contexts and actors on bureaucracy. Illustrating a clear
overarching picture of the divergences in Asian public
administration, the comparative focus of this Handbook will prove
invaluable to students and scholars of Asian politics, public
policy and administration. It will also be a useful point of
reference to Asian policy makers and bureaucrats dealing with
national administrative reforms who are looking to innovate the
public sector.
