Country Profiles on Public Administration

In the last half of the twentieth century, Governments were under pressure to respond to the demands from their citizens and to increasing complexity and change in their global environments. The response to these demands has taken the form of programmes of administrative transformation, administrative reform or administrative development. Often, these programmes have established government systems, procedures and projects that attempt to provide high quality services. The search for strategies has led to formulas such as downsizing (right sizing), technological applications and citizen participation. Globalization has emphasized the need to deal with not only national affairs but also the relationship between national Governments and regional, interregional and supranational entities. The purpose of this project is to track governmental strategies and accomplishments in administrative change.
