Omschrijving
Present day knowledge about public sector reforms in Asia is quite scattered and seldom focuses on the challenges of leadership. This book seeks to address this issue by presenting country cases that reflect the great diversity of the region.
The 11 chapters in this volume discuss public sector reforms in Japan, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand. Public administration specialists from these countries address the challenges of leadership in reforms in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the leadership of political executives and bureaucratic actors and the strategy and contexts of reform leadership. They describe the locus and drivers of reforms, the extent and manner that leadership is seen to promote reform efforts, how leaders address resistance inside organizations and relations with the authorizing environment, how they overcome public distrust, and how leaders build operational capacity for implementation and sustainability of reforms.

He is recipient of the Fred Riggs Award for Lifetime Achievement in International and Comparative Public Administration from the American Society for Public Administration. He has published extensively on public administration leadership in Asia, performance, human resources, and other topics.Eko Prasojo is Dean of Faculty of Administrative Science University of Indonesia and the Director of University Centre of Study of Governance and Administrative Reform (UI CESGAR).
