Improving Public Administration in the Asia-Pacific Region: Some Lessons from Experience
Abstract
This article draws on recent experience in the Asia-Pacific region to examine some conditions that are needed for administrative reforms to take hold, some lessons, and two approaches to reform. It then gives a brief overview of some key reform priorities, with examples from the region. A typology is drawn from a framework recently developed by the Asian Development Bank (Schiavo-Campo and Sundaram, 2001: 729-776). Although experience with reform has improved our understanding of what works, more in depth research is needed on how to achieve high performance in the public sector.
