The Occasional Papers are published quarterly by the NISPAcee and distributed together with the NISPAcee Newsletter. The series launches academic publications that discuss results of policy research in different fields of public administration. It provides a forum for the analysis and discussion of contemporary problems and possible solutions, models and methods of public administration and public policy with assessments of empirical evidence from regional experience practice in public sector reform.
The main goal is to enhance the quality and quantity of intellectual exchange among researchers, educators, scholars and practitioners of policy-making and public administration dealing with major issues of public administration and public policy in the Central and East European regions.
