A unique study of public service evolution in the 15 post-soviet
countries from independence to date. It reveals the diversity in
their transformation shaped by historical and cultural traditions
and the soviet legacy they inherited, as well as by the impact of
the political will of ruling elites, all of which influenced the
socio-economic and governance models these countries adapted. Its
value lays with the fact that it is a collaborative outcome of
prominent practitioners, who actively participated in the
transformation process, and leading scholars representing all 15
post-soviet countries. It is valuable addition to the body of
knowledge of public administration, allowing for improved
understanding of the complexity and depth of change that has taken
place over the past 30 years. It provides an in-depth analysis of
the public service reform process; a subject relevant to the
countries of the Region and beyond.
This book combines academic wisdom and practitioners' insights to
critically examine the challenges faced by civil service systems in
the 21st Century. Moreover, the book evaluates what types of civil
servants are needed to tackle critical issues such as rapidly
ageing populations, increased urbanisation, environmental
degradation, swift technological advancement, and globalisation of
the market place in the social and economic realm of the 21st
Century. Its topics range from civil service development in
post-Soviet countries indicating that peer-to-peer learning is the
way forward, to civil service reforms in China, Japan, and Korea in
their quest to satisfy their citizens demands and expectations in
the 21st Century. Other topics span across regional analyses by
focusing on current dominant trends and challenges confronting
administrative and civil service systems, vis-a-vis technology,
innovation and "big data", and their disruptive effects on society
and government. This book will be of interest to both academics and
practitioners, and would-be builders of the 21st Century world.
