The main theme of the conference, Crises, Vulnerability and Resilience in Public Administration has highlighted that recent developments related to the coronavirus crisis, the risks of managing financial markets, migratory and demographic trends, and geopolitical instability have shown that focusing on public administration efficiency and governance mechanisms alone is not enough. There is a need to develop better conceptual and theoretical foundations for thinking about the relationship between efficiency, vulnerability and resilience in public administration and governance. These developments need to be reflected in public administration education and research to better serve the needs of practice. This final roundtable discussion therefore aims to highlight the main challenges NISPAcee will face in the future and how to deal with them.
NISPAcee has succeeded in fulfilling an important part of its mission by helping to build and develop PA programmes in the region. Several PA schools has become highly developed and internationally recognised institutions with internationally accredited PA programmes. However, many schools and programs are still in a developmental phase and require continuous assistance to improve. NISPAcee has also managed to influence public polices of public governance systems in the region, especially in the earlier phases of transformation. However, the quality of governance in the region has not progressed sufficiently and in this respect NISPA’s position appears to be less influential. But the recent/current crises, including the war in Ukraine with all its European as well as global implications, require serious consideration by public administration professionals, including NISPAcee as a professional PA organisation. What can the NISPAcee role be in these processes in the future?
Questions for discussion: • How can NISPAcee help PA programmes to be able to cope with the challenges of our time?
• How can NISPAcee support less developed programmes in the region? Are these programmes interested in our help? What is their absorptive capacity?
• Is there any chance to enhance NISPAcee’s role in promoting good governance? Can NISPAcee influence the quality of governance more effectively than in the past?
• How might the current crises (especially COVID-19, the war in Ukraine) influence the future of NISPAcee?
