Theme: Public Management Reforms in CEE and the CIS

Reflecting on the unprecedented wave of public sector reforms in Central, Eastern Europe and the CIS in the last 16 years, the NISPAcee Working Group on Public Sector Quality has focused on public management reforms (PMR). The members of the Working Group have started cross-country comparative research which would cover 15 countries of the region.

For the meeting at the NISPAcee conference in Ljubljana 2006, the participants prepared country public management tables in which they catalogued the process of PMR in their respective countries. Additionally, participants prepared country profile papers describing public management reforms.

The members of the WG have followed the agreed-upon research methodology when preparing their country PMR papers for the meeting in Kyiv. It is the goal of the Working Group to have a book on public management reforms in CEE and the CIS published by Fall 2007.
