The New Look of the Public Administration

Publication from the COLA's Seminar Series 2020

In response to the effects of the covid-19 outbreak, COLA initiated a seminar series in order to address new challenges faced by the public administration in Thailand. As an educational institution, COLA intended to disseminate knowledge and discuss with the participants – online and offline – current advancements and adjustments in the fields of public administration, public affairs, and governance that aim to meet the needs of the citizens during this critical time. The goal was to increase the expertise of academics and faculty members so they can further support local communities in the formulation and implementation of public policies that benefit the society as a whole.

With experts from Thailand, Asia, Europe, and the U.S. giving online-lectures, COLA succeeded in collecting essential answers to many questions on public administration issues deriving from the crisis. To share this valuable information and further contribute to develop local governments and local administrations in Thailand, COLA published this book as well as produced videos from the seminar sessions to be used as further studying materials.

 

We hope that these will be efficient tools resulting from the activity and soon be recognized as valuable studying material for civil servants at the national and the local level, experts, lecturers, and students at Thai universities as well as the general public interested in the topic.
