WG Programme Coordinators:

Place: 26th NISPAcee Annual Conference, Iasi, Romania
Date:  May 24-26, 2018

For the conference only four papers were accepted and presented by a small number of participants.
The first paper (by the chairs of the WG) is an attempt to conceptualise the problem the WG attacks: the specificity of change in the CEE region in qualitative and quantitative terms. The paper utilised contributions from papers previously presented at NISPAcee conferences.
"The Hungarian Experiences with Handling Irregularities in the Use of EU Funds”, presented by Ms. Györgyi Nyikos attacks the issue of uncertainty generated by the discrepancies between the EU and the national law regarding implementation of EU funded projects.
"Public Administration, the Citizen and adaptive Management” by Ms. Gogu Madalina-Cristina, represented a multi-layered analysis of the possibility of applying the principles of adaptive management in order to decrease the uncertainty in public administration-citizens relationship.
"Women in the Transition in Hungary 1985-1995” by Ms. Ágnes Horváth presented a general overview of major fields that may need further scholarly investigation.
Each presentation was followed by a short discussion based on questions from the audience and fellow-presenters.
