Download or read book Public Sector Reform in Developing and Transitional Countries written by Christopher J. Rees and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent decades, decentralization has emerged as a key Public Sector Reform strategy in a wide variety of international contexts. Yet, despite its emergence as a ubiquitous activity that cuts across disciplinary lines in international development, decentralization is understood and applied in many different ways by parties acting from contrary perspectives. This book offers a fascinating insight into theory and practice surrounding decentralization activities in the Public Sectors of developing and transitional countries. In drawing on the expertise of established scholars, the book explores the contexts, achievements, progress and challenges of decentralization and local governance. Notably, the contributions contained in this book are genuinely international in nature; the chapters explore aspects of decentralization and local governance in contexts as diverse as Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda, and Viet Nam. In summary, by examining the subject of decentralization with reference to specific developing and transitional Public Sector contexts in which it has been practiced, this book offers an excellent contribution towards a better understanding of the theory and practice of decentralization and local governance in international settings. This book was published as a special double issue of the International Journal of Public Administration.

Download or read book Inception Point The Use Of Learning And Development To Reform The Singapore Public Service written by James Low and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inception Point: The Use of Learning and Development to Reform the Singapore Public Service fills a gap in current literature on Singapore's modernisation. While the political leadership of the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his People's Action Party (PAP) government were key to Singapore's modernisation, the role of policy implementation was one shouldered by the Singapore Public Service, a story thus far neglected in literature.Inception Point argues that the Singapore Public Service used executive development and training to introduce reforms across the bureaucracy. In so doing, the bureaucracy constantly adjusted itself to help modernise Singapore. In the 40 years between decolonisation in 1959 and 2001, when the training arm of the bureaucracy became a statutory board, training had been used firstly, to socialise the bureaucracy away from its colonial-era organisational culture to prepare it for the tasks of nation-building. Subsequently, civil servants were mobilised into an 'economic general staff' through training and development, to lead the Singapore developmental state in the 1970s and the 1980s. The Public Service for the 21st Century (PS21) reforms in the 1990s was the epitome in harnessing development and training for reforms across the bureaucracy.

Download or read book Civil Service Systems in East and Southeast Asia written by Chong-Min Park and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares contemporary civil service systems across East and Southeast Asia, a dynamic region of greater diversity in local administrative tradition, imported models of modern administration, and the character of prevailing political institutions. Featuring chapters on Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, this book provides a detailed analysis of key aspects of the civil service system, including centralization, recruitment, classification, openness of positions, performance assessment, promotion, training, and senior civil service. It distinguishes four modes of public employment, namely, bureaucratization, professionalization, politicization, and marketization, to develop a conceptual framework for comparing the civil service system at the operational level. The region’s contemporary civil service systems appear to be hybrid systems that combine, at varying degree, these modes of public employment, responding to administrative reform pressures. The patterns of public employment across East and Southeast Asia reflect local administrative traditions, imported Western models of administration, and the relative timing of democratization and bureaucratization. With contributions from leading local experts across the region, this book will be invaluable to students, scholars, and practitioners interested in Asian public administration, especially civil service systems.
Download or read book Public Service in a Globalized World written by Ahmed Shafiqul Huque and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increased level of indiscipline, malfunctioning of public organizations and corrupt policies has made good governance a popular demand worldwide. Good governance can only be ensured by increasing the level of skill, honesty and integrity of the public officials. As central training institutes contribute to the improvement of the quality of public service, its activities have been receiving renewed attention. The impact of globalization has forced a standardization of administrative procedures and practices as well as a convergence in the role and operation of central training institutes for public service. The continuous pressure for achieving and maintaining good governance is particularly significant for both India and Hong Kong. Based on extensive field research, this book contributes to the ongoing debate and suggests ways for enhancing capabilities of public services in developing countries. Suitable for readers of globalization and good governance as well as public administration and human resource management.

Abstract: Abstract The civil service system, being an important agency for carrying out the policies and measures of a government, is receiving more and more attention in recent years. Significant developments and modernization programs to improve the efficiency of the bureaucracy have been carried out in many countries. In this paper, we work to examine and study the civil service of two small but efficient economic entities in Asia - Hong Kong and Singapore. By smoothly and honestly implementing the government policies, the civil services in these two cities have indeed contributed to the remarkable societal and economic developments in the 1980s and 1990s. By comparing the two civil service systems, we can identify a number of features that they have in common, including the administration by generalists, the efforts for localization and the determination to combat corruption within the civil service systems. With increasing demands and expectations of the government service, both Singapore and Hong Kong have designed and carried out different kinds of civil service reforms to cope with the new environment. Their reform measures include various types of changes, such as adjusting the conditions of service, 3remuneration of the civil servants and introducing new kinds of training and development programs. These measures aim at increasing the efficiency of the system, cultivating a service culture into the minds of the civil servants, as well as solving immediate problems and challenges facing the governments such as reducing governmental financial burden by adjusting the scale for salary payment of the civil servants. Finally, after briefly evaluating these reforms, a number of pitfalls and successful examples are illustrated. It is hoped that by examining these lessons learnt, adequate directions for future civil service management could be more easily identified. It is also the purpose of this paper to bring more insights in improving the civil service efficiency for other governments in Asia by taking the experiences of Hong Kong and Singapore as a reference. 4 DOI: 10.5353/th_b2951877 Subjects: Civil service - China - Hong Kong Civil service - Singapore
