In this work, expert contributors provide an overview and analysis of public administration in select post-communist countries, including Russia, Georgia, Czech Republic, Romania, and Mongolia. Because these countries were largely closed off to the world, there has yet to be a comprehensive study on their administrative systems. The book includes coverage of public management and administration, political and economic reforms, civil society, human resource management, financial and budgetary management, accountability and corruption, as well as prospects for future development.
