Report from the International Workshop on the Role of Public Administration in Public Policies' Design & 15th Anniversary of the Central European Public Administration Review

In Apr 2018, the Faculty of Administration of the University of Ljubljana organized a two-day international workshop on the role of public administration in public policies' design. The workshop consisted of four parts: three sessions and one round table. In the first session, discussion was about evaluating public administration and public governance. The second session focused on the identification of the key success factors for effective public policies in Slovenia. The third session was motivated by the European research project EUPACK (European Public Administration Country Knowledge), focused on the analysis of public administration characteristics and performance in EU Member States. A special part of the workshop was devoted to the 15th anniversary of the Central European Public Administration Review. Here, a round table was conducted with the editors-in-chief of established public administration journals from the region, followed by an editors and reviewers recognition awards ceremony. Here, Kovac and Jukic present the main topics discussed in the workshop.
