REFORM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT

The topic of the 48th edition of Political Thought is Reform of Public Administration and Local Self-Government. The authors in this issue of Political Thought, through a versatile methodological debate and a variety of approaches – structuralist, institutionalist, social constructivist, and cultural – have given their academic, as well as practical contributions toward accomplishing the main goal, alongside specific suggestions for improving and avoiding the traps implicit in the negative phenomena (partisation and ethnicisation) inherent for both types of policies.
