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.

Conference Theme and Sub-Themes

The aim of the conference is to discuss the recent trends in public administration
and possible future scenarios in the emerging Asian countries.

2. Local Governance and Public Trust
