This article explores deliberative civic engagement in the context of public administration and policy. The field of public administration and policy is seeing a resurgence of interest in deliberative civic engagement among scholars, practitioners, politicians, civic reformers, and others. Deliberative processes have been used to address a range of issues: school redistricting and closings, land use, and the construction of highways, shopping malls, and other projects. Additional topics include race and diversity issues, crime and policing, and involvement of parents in their children's education. Finally, participatory budgeting, which has been used with success in Porto Alegre, Brazil since 1989 and has been employed in over 1,500 cities around the world, has been one of the most promising forms of deliberative civic engagement. Finally, the article suggests what we must do to build a civic infrastructure to support deliberative civic engagement, including government, but also practitioners and scholars.

Defined in the simplest and the most comprehensive framework, decision-making is the process of choosing between alternatives, and it is affected by various factors. Ethics, which is regarded as one of the significant elements among these factors, influences the decision-making process at organisational and individual levels. The subjects of ethics and ethical decision-making are becoming highly crucial in public policy making and implementation processes. Moreover, topics such as the circumstances that have an impact on the decisions of public administrators, and the ethical codes or institutions that help public administrators are major research areas in recent public administration literature. It is within this framework that this paper analyses the efforts to create an ethical policy, which will contribute to the ethical decision-making process of the public administrators in Turkey in terms of legislation, institutional dimension and ethical codes. This study reveals that even though Turkey has taken promising steps to generate an ethical system for public administration and service, there are still essential points to be reassessed regarding the expected transformation in combating corruption and unethical behaviours. ; C1 [Oztepe, Misra Cigeroglu; Kulac, Onur] Pamukkale Univ, Fac Econ & Adm Sci, Dept Polit Sci & Publ Adm, Denizli, Turkey. ; [Oztepe, Misra Cigeroglu; Kulac, Onur] Pamukkale Univ, Dept Polit Sci & Publ Adm, Denizli, Turkey.

Commissioner Valerie Lemmie, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), a leading scholar on the subject of public management in enhancing democracy, was inaugurated recently as the second Inclusive Management Fellow of the Coast-to-Coast Inclusive Management Initiative within the Center for Public Administration and Policy (CPAP) and the School for Public and International Affairs (SPIA) at Virginia Tech, National Capital Region.

Public policy is a process about selecting strategies and making choices. Public policy making include some steps –getting of agenda, policy formulation, policy adoptions, policy implementation. It must be also evaluated to see theintended results, to revise existing and future public programs and projects. Public policy can be studied as producing threetypes of policies (distributive, regulatory and re-distributive) related with decision making process. Public administration isthe set of processes, structures, functions, methods and procedures. Public administration is the formulation andparticularly implementation of public policy and the examination of the strategies and choices associated with that process.Public administration also can be defined as public programs and projects, profession and as academic field of study.There is no clear separation between administration and politics in the development of government policy and publicadministration. Administrators engage in political acts by recommending legislation as much as by making policydecisions in carrying out the laws. The administrators understanding of managerial issues and policies places them in aposition of substantial expertise, while their knowledge of administrative and legal procedures helps them by suggestingways of managing and enforcing the laws. The most modern forms of governance, administrative innovations allow us toassume that legislative and implementing contents of institutional activity today acquires new specific features. Executivebureaucratic structures using expert-consultation services, get more and more possibilities to really influence not only theimplementation of policy and the estimation of activities, but also to directly influence the preparation of public sectordirections and strategy.

The report focuses on local refugee integration policy and its implementation by the public administration in Cologne. It starts by outlining the general administrative and social structures and traditions in Germany´s fourth most populous city and then turns to refugee integration in detail. The city understands integration as a long-term political goal cutting across various administrative departments. Therefore, several public bodies are involved in making and implementing integration policy. Coordinating entities have been introduced recently to facilitate the integration of refugees. Furthermore, the report highlights the specific integration policies of the city in the four research areas of the project: employment, education, vulnerable groups and social assistance. In these fields, Cologne implements federal and state programs. Additionally, the city deploys an integration budget in order to set up and subsidize local projects targeting the special needs of migrants and refugees. In most of these programmes, the municipality does not provide the services for refugees itself, but relies on the cooperation with non-profit organizations. They range from longstanding welfare associations to newly formed initiatives and migrant organizations. The report presents the involvement of these non-profit organizations in the policy fields under study.

The report outlines the local refugee integration policy and its implementation by the public administration in Berlin. It starts by giving an overview of the political, administrative and social structures in the German capital, before presenting in more detail the responsibilities for refugee integration policy. A number of public bodies are involved in making and implementing integration policy, and tasks are shared between the city and the district levels of the city-state Berlin. Moreover, the content of integration policies is explained, focusing on the four research areas of the project: employment, education, vulnerable groups and social assistance. Berlin draws on a number of federal, state and local programs to support refugee integration, e.g. in terms of providing training, language tuition, health care services, accommodation and counselling. Many of these services are not provided directly, but by a broad variety of non-profit organizations. Some of them have been active in Berlin for years, whereas others have emerged in response to the increase in refugee migration in 2015/16. The city cooperates with these organizations in a number of ways, some of which will be researched in more detail in the upcoming case studies of the project.

This book draws on my professional experience as a civil servant and a university academic. This is not primarily a book of political philosophy but a book based on political philosophy for those interested in the ethics of public leadership in contemporary democratic governance. What I am 'recovering' is the practice of political philosophy in the compromised and flawed systems of public leadership shaped by contemporary governance, with more potential than we might realise to take close note of the political philosophies of Mill, Kant, and Aristotle.

There is increasing debate about the role that public policy research can play in identifying solutions to complex policy challenges. Most studies focus on describing and explaining how governance systems operate. However, some scholars argue that because current institutions are often not up to the task, researchers need to rethink this 'bystander' approach and engage in experimentation and interventions that can help to change and improve governance systems. This paper contributes to this discourse by developing a design science framework that integrates retrospective research (scientific validation) and prospective research (creative design). It illustrates the merits and challenges of doing this through two case studies in the Netherlands and concludes that a design science framework provides a way of integrating traditional validation-oriented research with intervention-oriented design approaches. We argue that working at the interface between them will create new opportunities for these complementary modes of public policy research to achieve impact.

Abstract This paper examines how public administration and public policy can be used to achieve sustainable development in a multifaceted way, that is, economically, environmentally politically and agriculturally in Nigeria. Though Nigeria is rich in material and other resources, it has not fared well in terms of development indices. Mismanagement, corruption and misplaced priorities still dog her development strides. In this paper our attempt therefore is to show that if Nigeria purposively harnesses the rich potentials in public policies and the administrative strategies that abound in the country, then the desired goal of development can be achieved. The objectives of the study are to discuss the roles of administrators and public policy formulators in achieving development in government. Without proper administration and policy, success cannot be achieved. It is through administration and policy that we can harness and put together the values derived from other areas. The paper also highlights some hindrances to development in Nigeria and suggested ways of improving them. The paper recommends that the agencies saddled with the responsibilities of policies implementation be allowed to follow the framework as given and to block or check the excesses of major key players who stand to divert or hinder the implementation of policies. Résume Cet article examine comment l'administration publique et les politiques publiques peuvent être utilisées pour réaliser un développement durable d'une manière multiforme, c'est-à-dire, économiquement, écologiquement, politiquement et culturellement au Nigeria. Bien que riche en ressources matérielles et autres, le Nigéria ne va pas bien en termes d'indices de développement. La mauvaise gestion, la corruption et les priorités mal placées continuent de freiner ses progrès en matière de développement. Dans cet article, nous essayons donc de montrer que si le Nigeria exploite à dessein les riches potentiels des politiques publiques et les stratégies administratives qui abondent ...

Scholars in the field of public servants focus on overviews of theories and models, descriptions of policy design and challenges, which stand in the field of public administration. In this point of view, we rarely meet the empirical assumptions and researches based on relevant methodologies, which overview the matters of policy-making, changes and design-implementation. The goal of the research is to study the main characteristics and explanatory reasons of Georgian servants' policy. Therefore, based on 10 experts' interviews, 4 laws, 11 ordinances of the government, 5 policy documents, 7 reports and 43 academic sources both hypotheses given in this article has been supported. Based on this, hence we can that the policy making of modern Georgian servants' policy is characterized by incremental changes, mismatch between the design and implementation, whereas the peculiarities are conditioned by the hybrid model of public administration, which is in close relation with political and administrative culture. In the article, one of the main novelties is the attempt to establish the concept of "public servants' policy", which hasn't been used before in the field of political science. Also, it's worth mentioning that the theoretical framework - the Incrementalism and Multiple streams theory thoroughly explain the logics behind the problems, changes and main characteristics of the policy-making process.
