During the thirty years of independence the post-Soviet republics, albeit at varying levels of commitment and speed of change, aimed to create democratic governance and market-based economic systems. This book focuses on the public administration and civil service transformation trajectories of these countries. The book comprises sixteen chapters, with the first providing a comprehensive overview of the reforms these states pursued in nurturing a professional public administration and a competent public service capable of accomplishing the countries’ sustainable development objectives. The other fifteen chapters present the trajectory, each of the post-Soviet republics pursued in transforming their public administration and civil service systems over the course of a generation. The overall conclusion of the book is that these countries’ common historical experience while they were part of the Soviet Union, and their subjugation to the Soviet ideological and institutional regime, left them with many problems that eventually haunted them in their pursuit to establish and consolidate good governance and market-based economic systems. As a result, their reform efforts have been remarkably diverse. This, of course, is not surprising, as it has been demonstrated repeatedly that institutional transformation is highly dependent on specific “conjunctures”, in particular historical and cultural, but also geopolitical contexts that may lead to divergent outcomes.
