Scholarship is a multi-generational collective enterprise with a
commitment to advancing knowledge, inspiring reflection, and
facilitating stronger neighborhoods, cities and countries. This
book explicitly adopts this lens as a recognition of the
contributions of Prof. Terry Cooper to scholarship and practice,
and as a mechanism to connect the past to the present and
ultimately the future of scholarship in public ethics and citizen
engagement. This "multi-generational" approach is designed to
reveal the persistent and future ongoing need to engage as a
scholarly and practitioner community with these questions. The book
is broken into three main sections: citizenship and neighborhood
governance, public service ethics and citizenship, and global
explorations of citizenship and ethics. Unique in this collection
is the explicit linkage across the main focus areas of citizenship
and ethics, as well as the comparative and global context in which
these issues are explored. Cases and data are examined from the
United States, Chile, Thailand, India, China, Georgia, and Myanmar.
Ultimately, it is made clear through each individual chapter and
the collective whole that research on citizenship and ethics within
public affairs and service has a rich history, remains critical to
the strengthening of public institutions today, and will only
increase in global significance in the years ahead.
What does it take to design effective government institutions and
sustain positive changes? What have we learnt about the attempts to
deliberately design and redesign public sector institutions in
different countries? What works and what doesn't, and why? What
happens when reforms fail? This book looks at what the existing
academic literature tells us about these questions, and intends to
answer these questions to generate and define theoretical and
practical knowledge about deliberate (vs. evolutionary) public
sector institutional change. It analyzes lessons from changes
implemented by international development agencies working to reform
public sector institutions in developing countries over the last
five decades. The book details reforms in one such country;
Kyrgyzstan, one of the more diligent nations in undertaking
donor-guided reforms since its independence in 1991. It then
presents a conceptual framework and analytical tools essential for
understanding the processes used in deliberate institutional
change, and in planning for and implementing institutional reform.
