Book excerpt: Scholars of public administration, economics, and political science, most from the region but some from western Europe and the US, describe the emerging civil service systems in nine countries, revealing the patterns that are developing during transition. They apply the methodological framework developed by the Civil Service Research Consortium to each country, providing a high degree of coherence that facilitates comparative analysis. They consider such aspects as the history of the system, internal labor markets, public opinion, relations between politicians and administrators, and civil service reform and development. They also take into account outside factors such as the possibility of joining the European Union. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
