It provides in-depth case studies of administration successes and failures in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, as well as a cross-country comparison to explore the various factors that drive change, and the outcome of administrative reforms across the region. Attention is also given to the EU accession process, whereby countries within the Western Balkans have sought entry into the European Union, and the extent to which EU-influenced reforms have been successful in bringing about institutional changes and improvements to public administration performance in the region. It will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, public policy and European politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuraj Nemec\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Public Finance and Public Management at the Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Czech Republic and part time Professor at the Faculty of Economics, Matej Bel University, Slovakia. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichal Plaček\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Public Policy at Charles University, Czech Republic. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarjan Nikolov\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at the Engineering Economics Institute, International Slavic University, North Macedonia. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEduard Bakoš\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Czech Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032361066\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51458903179404,"sku":"9783032361066","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032361066.jpg?v=1784155949","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032361066","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
