The e-Government Working Group (WG) studies Information and Communication Technology (ICT) applications in the area of public administration and analyzes their impact on the relationships between government (administration) and business (G2B), government and citizens (G2C), and government departments between each other (G2G). The special geographical focus of the studies and analyses are in the transitional countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (NISPAcee countries). Thus, the special interest of the workgroup is to evaluate the contribution of ICT applications to the transition process and its success. The WG intends to favor the quality of government policies and activities in the ICT sector. Papers presented by WG members contribute mostly to the exchange of best practices and experiences between NISPAcee countries and provide valuable materials for education at a higher vocational and academic level.

Session 1: Comparative Perspectives
Room MALA AULA National School of PA
WG Programme Coordinators:

Did the reforms in public administration in Central Europe continue since 2005, the year that 10 states became member of the EU and how does this relate to reforms in countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia who did not join the EU? In what direction did public administrations change and what were the driving forces? This working group addresses the above and related questions that tackle factors focusing on successes and failures of the public administration reforms. The discussion this year starts off with comparative perspectives on public administration reform, continues with internal explanations and international influences, and goes on with the question whether everything called public administration reform is real reform, what costs and benefits are involved and what modern theories on Public Administration Reform add to our understanding. During the six sessions of this working group, about 30 scholars and practitioners present the outcomes of the research they conducted into these matters.

Session 1

WG Programme Coordinators:

The Working Group will focus on the effect of crisis on local government finance. In the NISPAcee region there have been several fiscal and economic crises over the last two decades. First of all at the change of the system, the so-called Transition of CEE countries and the countries of the former Soviet Union was caused by a very deep political and economic crisis. During the transition the countries of the region have also phased crises depended on their individual situation. The nature and the background of the actual crises is different because it is related to a world wide financial and economic crisis which effects both advanced market economies and transitional economies as same as the Third World countries. The present situation is unique that respect there were only two such world wide crises in the last century: the World Economic Crisis in 1929-1933 and the Oil Price Crisis in the 1970s.


The core research question is that how public sector responds to this situation. The previous world wide crises increased the role of the state to eliminate market failures. Within the region the Transition has been a process of decentralisation of an entirely centralised political and economic system. What are the reactions to the actual crisis in individual countries: increasing concentration of power (fiscal capacity) on the level of Central Government or increasing role of decentralisation among the government levels and/or between the government and the private sector?

Internationalization and networking processes are one of the most important conditions for a modernization of the public administration studies and civil servants’ training systems in the European Union and in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. The public administration studies and civil servants' continuous training systems are closely related to the strengthening of administrative capacities and new quality creation according to the new global challenges.

The main objective of public administration and public policy is to create a public administration studies and civil servants' training systems, which would be not only governed by central and local government, but also integrated into international networks. The priority of the public administration studies and civil servants’ training systems development is internationalization of the activities of universities and training institutions and the creation of international networks of various regional, national and specialized higher education and training organizations.

VII. Working Group on Policy Analysis 
Session 1: Introduction; Recent Developments in Policy Analysis

WG Programme Coordinators:

The Working Group on Policy Analysis is a new WG within the NISPAcee Annual Conference.  It follows on panels at the last two Annual Conferences.  The purpose of the Working Group is to provide a forum for the discussion of and the sharing of experiences on the use of policy analysis within governments and the teaching and training of policy analysis in academic and governmental institutions, as well as the contribution of non-governmental organizations and think-tanks.  The papers and presentations at the initial “pilot” meeting of the Group show the challenges in teaching policy analysis in various countries, which have implemented policy analysis to different degrees; the discussion will give an opportunity for the exchange of information on the experience of how policy analysis contributes to achieving a more sustainable economic, social and political environment.  The Working Group also serves as a place where the participants might highlight achievements of policy analysis as an academic discipline and its value within governments.  The participants will exchange information on best practices, with a view to having greater acceptance of public policy analysis (PPA).
The discussions in the Working Group in Warsaw will build on the focus of the WG on the two interrelated clienteles:
-        practitioners within state/government administrations and
-        academics in schools and institutions who teach policy analysis as part of a public administration teaching/training program.
The WG will exchange experience on how academics can meet contemporary needs of public servants in upgrading academic and training programs in PPA as well as in preparing and promoting relevant policy advice.
The WG will also focus on country case studies of PPA and policy implementation that in its turn would allow for the comparative study of different approaches to institutionalization and implementation of PA procedures. Such a review is useful in assessing how effective and efficient existing policy analysis processes are within administrations and proposing how they might be improved.
 
The presentation of papers and the discussion among participants representing CEE, Central Asia and Caucasus counties as well as countries of Western Europe and North America and international organizations allows for sharing experience and for jointly working out ideas and recommendations on PPA improvement and better implementation to meet the urgent need in establishing responsive governance that become even more important under conditions of worldwide economic crises which forces governments to step in regulating market failures more rigorously.
 
At the Annual Conference in Warsaw, the papers are grouped on the following topics:
--Recent Developments in Policy Analysis
--Policy Environment and Policy Instruments
--Building Policy Capacity in a Changing Environment
--Sectoral Policy Analysis
--Looking at Future Applications
In addition to the discussion of the papers, the Working Group will also consider the future of the Working Group and its work program and particularly its research agenda, so that at the end of the NISPAcee Annual Conference, we will as a Working Group meeting seek to have a clear understanding of the way forward of the Group and to have a common understanding of its value as a network of those concerned with the development of policy analysis and the strengthening of the policymaking environment in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. the WG will explore opportunities of collaboration between educational and training institutions and policy centers in order to achieve a synergy of all the efforts in the targeted area.

Panel of NISPAcee Advisory Board of Practitioners 
Room ROOM 215 National School of PA

Based on the NISPAcee Strategy adopted in 2009, the NISPAcee Steering Committee has appointed an Advisory Board of Practitioners in order to incorporate practitioners’ voices to enhance NISPAcee’s capabilities towards governmental and non-governmental institutions operating in the NISPAcee region.  The task of the Board will be to advise the NISPAcee Steering Committee about new possible activities for practitioners and also as to how NISPAcee could be more useful and relevant for both public administration practice and practitioners in the region. The Board members were invited on this panel to share their views and proposals, in this regard, with conference participants and also to listen to participating practitioners at the conference, who are most welcome to present their ideas during this session.

EAPAA Workshop "Criteria for a Good Ph.D Programme" 
Room SALA 308 National School of PA
Chair: Theo van der Krogt
Co-chair: Christoph Reichard, University of Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany

During this workshop we want to discuss with the participants what makes up a good Ph.D programme in public administration. Can we find some ‘common traits’ in the Ph.D programmes in the different countries, what should be the balance between ‘classes’ and individual research, what makes a person a good tutor for Ph.D students, etc.?

The workshop is meant for directors of Ph.D programmes, Ph.D tutors and (former) Ph.D students. The results of this workshop (and a similar on at the EGPA conference) will be used for a discussion paper on possible criteria for Ph.D programmes for EAPAA.

Study Abroad for Graduate Students 
Combining Teaching and Research in a Cross Cultural Course in PA and Public Policy
Room SALA 307 National School of PA
Chair: Sorin Dan Sandor, Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

 In January 2010, Professor Arno Loessner and Professor Maria Aristigueta from the University of Delaware together with Professor Calin Hintea, from Babes Bolyai University, coordinated a joint research project which involved mixed research teams composed of Romanian and American students who conducted conduct cross-cultural research in Cluj Napoca, Romania. Teams of two or three students worked side-by-side to conduct interviews and collect data on their topics of mutual interest. They met with leaders of Cluj city and county as well as representatives of Romania's central government, nonprofit organizations, schools, media and other well-informed individuals over two weeks of intensive study. Each student research team produced a 20-page research paper on their findings. The teams presented preliminary experiences and findings at a Jan. 21 forum in Romania. The presentations were preceded by a press conference at which students were interviewed by Romanian print and TV media. Their research topics have included public health, public education, opportunities for economic and social development of minorities (especially the Roma population), disaster response, freedom of information, anticorruption measures, and the relationship of public transportation to air quality. The papers presented in the panel are the result of these joint efforts. The chair of the panel will also elaborate in his presentations on the topic of conducting such academic programs in the field of public administration. The aim of the panel is to disseminate the outcomes of this effort, to find ways to improve the program and to replicate it in other locations.

NISPAcee Fair of New Project Proposals

Topic: The Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform

Presenter: Saltanat Janenova, Network facilitator, RCPAR, UNDP Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform

  

The Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform (RCPAR) is a five-year regional project on PAR implemented under the auspices of the United Nations Development Programme Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC) and primarily financed by the Hellenic Government. The demand-driven approach of the Project is secured by its Network of Focal Points, which currently counts more than 200 institutions. Most of these are public sector departments and agencies, but relevant academic institutions and non-governmental organisations are also eligible for membership, provided they work in thematic areas of relevance to the project: policy making and coordination; public finance management; organisation and staffing; and public service delivery. Using a variety of tools made available through the project, network members are actively involved in developing new multi-country proposals. If approved, these proposals can be funded with up to 100,000 USD. In addition to giving a brief description of the project and the current profile of the network, and explain of how interested parties can join the network, the presentation will provide examples of ongoing and prospective multi-country activities.

Topic: Advanced methods for transparent management and democracy in Public Administration

Presenter: Roumiana Tsankova, Technical University-Sofia, Research and Education Centre for e-Government, Bulgaria

The aim of our project proposal is to identify the administrative-management problems which need more transparency and visibility and to find methods and tools for more wide democratization of these processes.

Such a project could involve the following scientific and practical oriented directions:

-To investigate and identify legislative and regulatory problems for administrative-management processes in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical level.

-To propose common legislative and regulatory solutions for some clear and common problems of the CEE countries in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical level.

- To provide some expert management decisions for identified administrative-management problems of the CEE countries in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical levels derived from the good administrative practices.

- To test and recommend some advanced tools for an improvement of the democratization processes (for example tele- and videoconferencing, Web technologies etc).

 

Different researcher and managers, administrative specialists could participate in such project. An additional effect could be that the “good practices” will discover their tacit knowledge, which will be helpful for the other problems solutions.

 

 

Topic: Possible new NISPAcee activities

Presenter: Ľudmila Gajdošová, NISPAcee Executive Director

In 2009 NISPAcee adopted a new Strategy which should lead the organization in the upcoming several years. The Strategy includes continuation in  the NISPAcee traditional activities,  but several new directions are also suggested, mainly focused on e.g. the improvement of the quality of education, training and research, relevance of the organization for the practitioners, support of young professionals, support of institutions and countries outside the EU, possible new partners and donors of new projects and activities.   All conference participants are invited for a discussion on these NISPAcee opportunities.
