The Award of the Best
Comparative Paper at the 19th NISPAcee Conference, May 2011, was presented to the winners Veronica Junjan, University of Twente, The Netherlands, and Diana-Camelia Iancu, National School
of Political Studies and Public Administration, Romania for their paper "Post
EU accession reforms in Central and Eastern European countries: Who will
(continue to) bother?”.
The WG is planning to produce an edited book with the
best papers on PA reform in a large variety of countries. The plan is to
collaborate with the coordinators of some of the other working groups to
produce an edited volume on Public Administration Reform in Central and Eastern
Europe and Central Asia. Papers addressing this topic were, for instance, also
delivered for the working groups on Local Government, the group on Policy
Analysis and within the General Session.
