Public Administration in Southeast Asia: Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Macao

By Evan M. Berman

While public administration practice and education has become considerably professionalized in the last decade, existing knowledge on public administration in Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, and Hong Kong is fragmented at best, and devoid of a useful reference. Sufficiently in-depth and well-rounded, this handbook fills a critical need by bringing together leading scholars in the field. Focusing on recent developments in public administration in countries which are among the fastest growing economies in the world, it explores their unique practices and innovative approaches. Divided into five sections, each dedicated to a particular country, the text outlines the most relevant topics in modern public administration.
