Meeting 1
Room E 391 3rd floor
WG Programme Coordinators:
  Gyorgy Gajduschek, Corvinus University of Budapest, Budapest, Hungary
Eva Zemandl, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary
On the one hand the economic development necessitates stable and professional administrative systems. On the second hand, do exist the opportunities for this normative realisation in an environment of frequent change and prolonged uncertainty? Working Group intends to deal with the often unpredictable nature of the CEE/FIS transitional context. It will explore the consequences of large-scale changes and prolonged uncertainty (i.e. in a political, economic, and systemic sense, etc.) in CEE/FIS countries on administrative behaviour and thus, on the wider governance environment.

Chair: Wolfgang Drechsler, Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia
Co-chair: Rustamjon Urinboyev, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
 
 
Because the NISPAcee region covers also the islamic countries, this year conference includes the following important questions for the modernisation of the Public Administration of these countries:
  • Are there Islamic models of PA?
  • Is there an Islamic PA legacy even in secular, and/or formerly Ottoman, societies in the regions?
  • Are Globalisation, Westernisation, and Europeanisation challenging Islamic PA, or is it rather the other way round?
  • How do the recent debates about modes and indicators of Governance, and of Non-Western PA, influence our perception of Islamic PA?
  • What does all of this mean for Public Administration Reform?
