Yet, in different ways, they are working hard to improve public sector governance in areas such as democratic accountability, openness, transparency, integrity, government trust, high performance standards and combating corruption. The chapters in this book analyze and compare the experiences of Asian countries in carrying out governance reforms. Some of the questions tackled in this title are: how common reform packages designed for developed countries are implemented in developing countries? What happens in the reform diffusion process? What are the obstacles to reform success? The diversity of the Asian region is well reflected in these chapters, covering a range of topics, theories, methodologies, and findings. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners researching and working with public policy in the region. 410 0$aResearch in public policy analysis and management ;$vv. 17. 606 $aPolitical Science$xGovernment$xNational$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science$xPublic Affairs & Administration$2bisacsh 606 $aCentral government$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration 615 7$aPolitical Science$xGovernment$xNational. 615 7$aPolitical Science$xPublic Affairs & Administration. 615 7$aCentral government. 615 7$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPublic administration. 676 $a351.5 701 $aWescott$b Clay$01502689 701 $aPhitthaya Bowonwatthana$01502690 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778070803321 996 $aComparative governance reform in Asia$93730613 997 $aUNINA
