Publisher Summary 1
Written by leading experts in their fields, Public Administration in East Asia: Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan examines the inner workings of governments in East Asia, public administration and public policy processes. It focuses on the apparatus of government---the agencies, their values, context, and policies within which they operate. Organized in parallel sections, the book covers the history, public policy processes, organization, HRM, ethics, corruption, intergovernmental relations, performance management, and e-government. It discusses each of these topics separately for Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, providing an unusual and important comparative perspective. The book includes new, essential knowledge and facts, discussions of emerging issues, and useful resources.
This state-of-the-art resource brings important new material that allows for a comprehensive, broader and new understanding. It fills the need for a comprehensive and accessible compendium that is presently lacking. Books on single countries or topics do not provide the breadth of this treatment. This book is the essential resource for practitioners, scholars, and students interested in East Asia or public administration.
Publisher Summary 2
Berman (National Chengchi U., Taiwan), Moon (Yonsei U., South Korea), and Choi (Korea U., South Korea) present this volume as a "one-stop shopping" review of issues of public administration in East Asia. The volume covers the history of public administration, decision-making processes, the influence of Confucianism on public administration, the impact of East Asia's developmental path on public administration, the reasons performance management is emphasized in the region, the state of citizen participation in East Asia, the ethical underpinnings of the East Asian civil service, the importance of intergovernmental relations, the politics of information technology, the nature of civil service reform, and the nature of efforts to combat government corruption, among other topics. Chapter authors were asked to write about identical subject areas for Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in order to further the comparative value of the work and were also asked to cover both essential and advanced topics.
