• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the status of public administration in eight countries-the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, and Libya-in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This volume explores the issues, perspectives, traditions, and cultures that shape the operation of public administration in the region. This book also offers critical narratives on how the region's governments manage the state and statecrafts regarding their governance design. It reflects on the multiplicity of public administration structures, functions, processes, and procedures, as well as reform schemes, which are critical in achieving good governance to continuously improve the human condition in the MENA region. Public Administration in the Middle East and North Africa will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and students concerned with the ways in which technological change, knowledge accumulation, and dissemination can increase a state's effective governance capacity.

Rezensionen

"Public Administration in the Middle East and North Africa is a welcome addition to the comparative public administration cannon. This edited volume increases the field's knowledge about public administration about an underexplored region."

Trevor Brown, Dean at John Glenn College of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University & President of Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA)

"This book is a valuable addition to the small but growing literature on public administration and governance in the Middle East and North Africa. The wide variety of topics covered in the book would be of great benefit to scholars as well as practitioners of public administration, public policy, and development studies."

M Ramesh, Professor & UNESCO Chair of Social Policy Design in Asia, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore & President of International Public Policy Association (IPPA)
