Presenter Abstract Coming soon twenty years anniversary of the beginning of the transformation process in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) gives an opportunity to look and assess results, compare them with other regions, particularly with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which started its transformation two years later. The authors will try to evaluate, which of the results of the transformation contributed to bringing those nations on more sustainable path of development and what were the forces behind those achievements. In addition, we will address the current challenges facing public administration, understood in dual sense – as governance and public affairs education. The authors will utilize their experiences in assisting the transformation processes in CEE and CIS, including their collaborative efforts over last 17 years. The basic theoretical concepts which inspired authors are human and social capital and sustainability.
