This book describes the administrative system of Bhutan. Divided into two main parts, the first part of the book describes the Bhutanese public administration by examining the various paradigms and ideal types of public administration. Chapters examine the paradigms and ideal types in the field of public administration, and the paradigm concept helps in explaining the dynamics and the interaction of the application of public sector reforms within the context of the ideal types. Based on the historical and recent reforms, the Bhutanese administrative system has been mapped onto the ideal type typology to show hybridity with a mix and layering of characteristics of paradigms. The second part of the book examines the dynamics of implementing and evaluating the Position Classification System (PCS). This part includes chapters which evaluate the PCS and discusses the dynamics of the reform. It synthesizes the findings of the implementation of the PCS and connects it to the broader discussions on public sector reforms. It discusses the trajectory of public sector reform and the points of convergences and divergences within this trajectory.

Based on new field research, this book assesses the current state of governance and public sector reforms in eleven Asian countries and jurisdictions, especially in the wake of the recent regional financial crisis that seriously affected some of them. It analyses reform efforts comparatively against a backdrop of governance problems, and seeks to establish whether these efforts represent a substantive shift in attitudes towards reform or whether they serve simply to reinforce existing practices. The authors explore a number of important themes that are central to governance and public sector reform issues. These include the role of the state, the success or failure of organizational reforms, corruption, the applicability of the new public management model in the Asian context, and the governance values and reform models promoted by regional and international agencies.

In recent decades the intensity with which governments have initiated public sector reforms increased tremendously. Amidst such a flurry of reforms, Bhutan's government implemented the Position Classification System (PCS) reforms in 2006. The PCS represented a major tranche of public sector reforms that included human resource management and performance management components. The implementation of the PCS, which was based on international "best practices", met with sharp criticism in Bhutan. This thesis, using the implementation of the PCS in Bhutan as a case study, examines the dynamics of public sector reforms and discusses the convergences and divergences in the public sector reform trajectory. In doing so, three key aspects of the "dynamics" of public sector reform are analysed in this thesis. The first aspect is the debate over "revolutionary" or "evolutionary" nature of the reform. Through the concept of paradigms in public administration, this thesis identifies an ideal type typology of public administration, and distinguishes the components of the PCS as normal policy making (evolutionary reform) and paradigm-shift policy (revolutionary reform). On the basis of the ideal type typology, the thesis demonstrates that Bhutan's public administration is hybrid with combinations of characteristics of the various paradigms and models of public administration. The second aspect of the dynamics of public sector reforms is the effect of the scope and timing on the evaluation of the reforms. Based on the data gathered from in-depth interviews and an opinion survey of the Bhutanese civil servants in 2011, the thesis evaluates the various dimensions of the PCS. The third aspect of the dynamics of public sector reform is the drivers of the reform and their forms of interaction. In examining the main drivers of the PCS, the thesis explores topical topics on public sector reforms such as policy transfer, ideas and symbolism, stakeholder participation, and change management. One of the main findings of the thesis is the interaction between the reforms and the context and culture of the administrative system that these reforms are applied in. Using Geert Hofstede's Value Survey Module to generate original values for the culture of Bhutan, the thesis demonstrates the importance of context and culture in the implementation of public sector reforms. The thesis provides one of the first comprehensive historical analyses of public sector reforms in Bhutan, a country that is relatively understudied. The thesis is also one of the few empirical studies that maps the ideal types based on the paradigms of public administration to a country's administrative system. To suit Bhutan's monarchical political context, the ideal type typology includes the patronage system as one of the models. Another significant contribution of the thesis is that it is one of the few empirical studies, which evaluate policy by using a revisionist approach that combines the rationalist and the argumentative traditions. Finally, the thesis serves as a basis for the next set of public sector reforms to be implemented in Bhutan's civil service through a set of policy recommendations based on the experience of the PCS.

Over the past two decades, there has been a shift of paradigm in public administration and public sector accounting around the world with the increasing emphasis on outcomes as opposed to inputs and outputs focus. Understanding of how government departments and agencies develop and implement outcomes-based approaches to their services and programs to strengthen public accountability, financial scrutiny and good governance worldwide is limited. Covering a selection of international practices on outcomes-based approaches to government departments, agencies and public higher educational institutions in developed economies, this comprehensive compilation provides an essential reading in the public sector accounting, accountability and performance management field. The contributions are grouped into three jurisdictions: Australasia, UK and Europe, and North America. It incorporates outcomes-based practices in public services from advanced economies and will be of significant interest to global public sector regulators, consultants, researchers, and academic communities as well as academic researchers in public administration and development studies fields. The insights offered by a country-specific practice will also be useful to governments in other countries implementing similar systems and practices and facing similar socio-political environments. This book will also help to gain an understanding of the issues of government accountability from a management point of view as well as from a socio-political point of view.
