About the Book

While public administration practice and education has become considerably professionalized in the last decade, existing knowledge on public administration in Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, and Hong Kong is fragmented at best, and devoid of a useful reference. Sufficiently in-depth and well-rounded, this handbook fills a critical need by bringing together leading scholars in the field. Focusing on recent developments in public administration in these countries which are among the fastest growing economies in the world, it explores their unique practices and innovative approaches in public administration. 

Organized by Country

Divided into five sections, each dedicated to a particular country, the text outlines the most relevant topics to modern public administration, including—

  • History and Context of PA in the Country
  • Performance Management Reforms
  • Public Service Ethics and Corruption
  • Civil Service Systems
  • Government Finance
  • Public Policy Processes and Democracy

    • The handbook also contains introductory and concluding chapters that summarize and analyze its content in interesting and thought provoking ways.
