Invitation
The 23rd NISPAcee Annual Conference
May 21-23, 2015, Tbilisi, Georgia
organised in cooperation with the Caucasus University,
Tbilisi, Georgia
The Main Conference Theme: Insourcing and/or
outsourcing: How do they contribute to the public administration reform?
The
annual conferences of NISPAcee focus on a significant theme, which facilitates
a better understanding of important issues regarding the administrative
development and policymaking capacity in Central and Eastern Europe and Central
Asia. The conferences include experts, scholars and practitioners who work in
the field of public administration in Central and Eastern Europe (including all
countries covered by NISPAcee's membership, the Russian Federation, Caucasus
and Central Asia), as well as from many other regions and countries of the
world.
The focus of the 23rd NISPAcee conference is on the evaluation of
the concept of outsourcing (or externalisation, in broader terms), its
successes, failures and challenges, with the focus on the conditions of
transitional countries in the NISPAcee region. Theoretical papers from various
perspectives, assessing the concept of outsourcing and its environment in the
NISPAcee region, but especially empirical studies on processes and results, are
invited.
