"Models of Administrative Reform" published on by Oxford University Press.

Administrative reform is a key element of postsocialist transformations. There were three rounds of New Public Management-inspired administrative reform in Kazakhstan, yet they did not lead to substantial increases in the quality of governance. This lack of progress is partially the result of a lack of attention to the issues of administrative culture in the blueprints of administrative reform. This article explores elements of administrative culture in Kazakhstan such as power distance, sub-ethnic groups ( Zhuz), and teams of civil servants. The analysis is based on the outcomes of bivariate statistical tests and a multiple regression. The article shows that the prevalence of teams and ethnic groups has an impact on civil servants' perceptions of the effectiveness of administrative reform. The study also suggests that the civil service in Kazakhstan is characterized by a high power distance, which may undermine the principles of New Public Management.

Child abuse is crushing and may lead to a lifetime of negative outcomes, including poor health, and mental illness. More wrenching is the bond victims often form with their abusers, one so strong they may attempt to protect and defend their victimizers. This book uncovers the realities of these relationships through an examination of abuse memoirs.

"Administrative rule is a type of rule centered on devising and implementing regulations governing how we live and how we conduct ourselves economically and politically, and sometimes culturally. The principle feature of this type of rule is the important question about how things should be arranged and for what purpose becomes a bureaucratic matter.
