Place: The 22nd NISPAcee Annual Conference, Budapest, Hungary
Date: May 22-24, 20
Focused
on the links between good governance and human rights based approach to
development in countries of Central and Eastern Europe and post-soviet
countries, the participants of Working Group have discussed both theoretical
and practical issues of public administration under transition. Whereas some
presenters analyzed state-building and the constitutional/public administration
reforms in newly independent states through the framework of implementation of
the principles of human rights and good governance, other presenters
contributed to empirical research and comparative analysis of good governance
in the public management organisations at the local and national levels and in
particular, in the justice system. This variety of research interests of the WG
participants allowed us to explore the many notions of justice, the importance
and role of justice in state building, conflict prevention as well as the functions
of the key players, involved in providing justice. The Working Group
participants came from the academia, civil society and policy community of
countries of Central Eastern Europe, former Soviet Union and Afghanistan.

Meeting of the Working Group on Civil Service
WG Programme Coordinators:
Tetyana Malyarenko, Donetsk State Management University, Donetsk, Ukraine

The
WG is a newly established unit, focused on in-depth analyses of how the values
of human rights create conditions for effective governance and economic
development.
This year, the WG’s activities aimed at the development of a
comprehensive approach, linking human rights, human security and good
governance in order to contribute to public policy, through which human rights
strengthen the efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in eastern
and south-eastern European countries.
Thematically, the Working Group
embraced the theoretical work on human rights and good governance (for example,
the paper by Vladimir Salamatov "Institutional-behavioural parameters
of public administration”), specific case studies of good governance
practice in CEE and CIS countries (for example, the paper by Alex
Aleshka "Georgia: the example of good governance practices for
CIS countries” and the paper by Marija Risteska "Gender and
inter-ethnic dialogue in Macedonia”) and themed comparative analysis,
covering areas of human rights, human security, good governance and economic
development (for example, the paper by Tetyana Malyarenko "Human
security and development in the Eastern Partnership: a comparative study of
Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova” and the paper by Marija Milenkovska "The
impact of the European court of human rights on protecting human rights in the
weak, post-conflict countries”).
