This volume explores the issues, perspectives, traditions, and cultures that shape the operation of public administration in the region. The book also offers critical narratives on how the region's governments manage the state and stat…
Building global public administration knowledge
Public administration has been seeking to develop a global knowledge base, dating back to the early days of the field. Despite expressed interest in building such a knowledge base, scholars continue to criticize overly narrowly public administration knowledge, which tends to favor developed countries and the Global North. This article applies principles from collaboration theory, which was developed for solving complex problems, to set a course f…

The Pandora Papers leaks are hard examples of integrity violations, shining a light on how public administration operates in practice. The integrity deficits revealed not only threaten people's wellbeing, but also put on display the state's leniency toward rich and powerful people …
Institutional Reforms, Governance, and Services Delivery in the Global South
Covid‐19 vaccine equity in doldrums
This paper explores whether inequities in access to COVID‐19 vaccines can be attributed to governance deficits, particularly for developing and emerging countries where poor governance is widespread, but also for developed countries, where governments' performance fell short of expectations. These shared performance deficits beg questions about the impact of governance quality as well as the interplay of ethics in governance when life‐or‐death de…
Capital city boosterism as policy legitimation
Governance, natural resources rent, and infrastructure development
This article identifies the role governance plays in developing physical infrastructure through the utilization of natural resource rent as public investment for infrastructure development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The empirical model employs panel data from 15 MENA countries and two governance indices (GOVI)—GOVI Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and GOVI (Additive). Using the Granger Causality test, a one‐time lag was …

Adapting to Climate Change in Bangladesh
Climate change poses a serious threat to humanity in developed and developing countries and is already affecting South Asia. This study examines the role that good governance plays for adapting to climate change in Bangladesh, arguing that lack of good governance in Bangladesh risks reducing adaptation preparedness to climate change in the country. There is evidence, mainly because of geophysical risk factors, to support arguments that good gover…

Transition Towards a Knowledge-Based Society in Post-Communist Kazakhstan
This article analyses and reviews the progress made by Kazakhstan, a post-communist country in Central Asia, towards its journey to become a knowledge-based society. An attempt has been made to examine how and to what extent good governance plays a critical role in building a knowledge-based society. Available evidence suggests that Kazakhstan made considerable advancement, in the midst of profound transitional challenges, to move to transform it…
