This comprehensive book delves into the critical factors shaping the quality of public administration in conflict-affected countries, while also examining the extent to which conflicts influence and impact the performance of public administration in these regions. Its main value proposition lies in confirming the widely held belief that there is no direct and universal relationship between conflict and public administration performance, emphasizing the need to consider the unique circumstances of each country. Recognizing the diverse nature of these contexts, sixteen in-depth country studies have been conducted across America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, encompassing countries such as Bangladesh, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda, Ukraine, and Venezuela. These studies provide valuable insights into the diverse trends and challenges faced by public administration in conflict-affected countries, shedding light on the complex interplay between internal and external factors that determine the performance of public institutions. By undertaking this comprehensive analysis, the book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the complexities involved in rebuilding and strengthening public administration in post-conflict environments, ultimately fostering sustainable development and promoting peace and stability.
