These papers represent a collection of the best papers presented at the annual
NISPAcee conference in Warsaw in 2010. The theme of the conference was public administration in crisis, and a number of these papers address the main them. Other papers reflect many of the continuing interests of Working Groups within NISPAcee, as well as some general themes within public administration. The papers are primarily drawn from scholars working in Central and Eastern Europe, but some papers also were written by scholars from other areas interested in the development of public administration in this area. Taken together these papers provide interesting perspectives on a number of different aspects of administration in the CEE countries.
In addition to the papers coming from the regular NISPAcee panels in Warsaw
our Polish hosts organized a number of panels that dealt more thoroughly with the issues of public administration in Poland, involving almost entirely Polish scholars. These papers on Poland are presented as a separate section in this volume and taken together provide a very useful picture of Polish governing in a period of crisis. As one of the largest countries in Europe, Poland has substantial resources but also confronts very real problems in governing, and these papers provide interesting insights into these issues.
