Title Improving Public Administration in the Asia-Pacific Region: Some Lessons from Experience
 
Creator Wescott, Clay
 
Description This article draws on recent experience in the  Asia-Pacific region to  examine some conditions that are needed for administrative reforms to take hold, some lessons, and two approaches to reform. It then gives a brief overview of some key reform priorities, with examples from the region. A typology is drawn from a framework recently developed by the Asian Development Bank (Schiavo-Campo and Sundaram, 2001: 729-776). Although experience  with  reform  has  improved  our  understanding  of what  works, more  in  depth research is needed on how to achieve high performance in the public sector.
