Time:
7-9 Februari 2011
Venue:
University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia
Organizer:
Asian Association for Public Administration (AAPA) in cooperation with Universiy of Indonesia (UI)
Background:
Global economic and political conditions are facing enormous change recently. The world's constellation has shifted, with a few Asian countries playing more important roles, as indicated by the growth of China, the emerging giant India, and the resilience of Indonesia, following the success of Korea and Japan since 1990s. However, no single Asian country can relax in this situation, because of political instability in many Asian countries.
Consequently, public administration in every country plays an important role in enhancing public trust. Innovations have been made to improve the lives of citizens. Good governance has become fashionable in many countries. However, few countries succeeded in implementing it. Administrative reform, which is an important aspect of good governance, has to be adjusted to each country's context.
Meanwhile, the wave of decentralization which begun in 1980s has not stopped. Central government in many Asian countries have handed over their authority to local governments to improve governance or to encourage local democracy. Many countries have succeeded, but many have failed too. The bureaucracies in some countries have become corrupt institutions.
