Public Administration and Management S PUBLIC A B B E A state-of-the-art, one-stop resource, Public Administration in South Asia: India, R H Bangladesh, and Pakistan examines public administration issues and advances in the M A ADMINISTRATION Indian subcontinent. The book fulfills a critical need. These nations have the largest public A R W administration programs in South Asia, yet existing knowledge on them is fragmented at N best. Bringing together leading scholars from these countries, this book provides both an A L IN SOUTH ASIA insider perspective and a scholarly look at the challenges and accomplishments in the region. Focusing on the machinery of government, the book explores questions such as: P INDIA, BANGLADESH, AND PAKISTAN • What is the history of public administration development? U • How are major decisions made in the agencies? B • Why are anti-corruption efforts so much a challenge? L • What is the significance of intergovernmental relations? I I C • What is the success of administrative reform? N • What are examples of successful social development programs? A • How successful is e-government, and what are its challenges? S • Why is civil service reform difficult to achieve? OD • How is freedom of information being used as a means to combat corruption M and invoke grassroots activism? U • What can be learned from the successes and failures? TI N H While public administration practice and education have become considerably I professionalized in the last decade, a sufficiently in-depth and well-rounded reference on S A public administration in these countries is sorely lacking. Most available books tackle only T aspects of public administration such as administrative reforms, civil service, economic S R developments, or public policy, and are country specific. None provide the in-depth analysis I of the sphere of public action in South Asia found in this book. It supplies an understanding A A of how public administration can be either the source of, or solution to, so many of the T problems and achievements in the Indian subcontinent.
