After the inaugural webinar with Prof. B. Guy Peters, U. of Pittsburgh, on the concept of Administrative Traditions (see here), we explored with respective country experts the effect of these traditions on the public sector of Botswana (Mogopodi Lekorwe), Cape Verde (Crisanto Barros), Ghana (Nana Yaa A. Gyamfi), Mauritius (Adeelah Kodabux), Senegal (Moustapha Mbengue), and South Africa (Jess Auerbach). We learned how government practices introduced during colonial times have shaped public organizations in these countries and interacted with pre-colonial governance forms.
Topic:
In the upcoming webinar, C4SP founders and the country experts aim to summarize these insights and identify reasons for the observed similarities and differences among the six state formation processes. We wish to discuss why some countries have integrated both colonial and pre-colonial elements into a hybridized public governance system while others primarily followed one tradition. Additionally, we aim to elaborate on the relevance of this comparison beyond the studied contexts and discuss its implications for practice. Thus, we want to understand the causes and effects of organizational contexts that scholarship defines as institutional interfaces - where Western and non-Western traditions co-exist.
