The Impact of Public Programs on Political Modernization in Asia

Modernization is social revolution. For our working purpose, it can best be defined as a general social change. In order to have some indications of the depth of the problem, it is useful to examine some of the characteristics of the change we observe across the Asian scene today

University Planning for National Development and Modernization

Given the new social role of the university as expounded by many contemporary writers, our task here is to consider the variety of functions and programs which can be delimited from that role. One can immediately indicate the broad range of major functions within which innovations many occur, they are: 1. Teaching ‥‥‥ Teaching in more traditional sense 2. Training ‥‥‥ Training of professionals and specialists 3. Research 4. Service The important thing now is that these functions must be designed and carried out in such a manner that significant innovations can occur. Programmatic innovations can take at least two forms: 1) by revamping or restructuring existing programs, and 2) by creating new programs

Report of the EROPA Seminar on " Administrative Reforms and Innovation "

Mr. President, it is a great honour for me to present to you and the General Assembly a summary report on the discussions which transpired during the four sessions of the Seminar last Friday and Monday, revolving around the very theme of this General Assembly, "Administrative Reforms and Innovations in Asia." As there will be available detailed written reports of each of the four seminar sessions prepared by the four rapporteures, namely, Drs. Amara, Abueva, Siagian and Hsueh, I will limit anyself to making only a brief general summary around several major subthemes of the Seminar. These included the following: (1) the concept of administrative reform; (2) the ecological and political setting of administrative reform; (3) the role of political leadership in administrative reform; (4) the crucial role of administrators as change agents and the adequacy of the traditional bureaucracy in providing the right milieu for administrative reform; and (5) the strategy and conduct of administrative reform

Administrative Reforms and Innovation in Asia

During the past quarter century, many Asian countries have come through rapid and sweeping change-social, economic and political. In this process some of them have registered considerable degrees of socio-economic development, but many of they are still undergoing violent social and political upheavals. In this era of rapid change, the discipline and practice of public administration have not been marked by imagination and adaptability. Either it was discarded as a discipline with no bearing on the process of socio-economic development, or it was regarded narrowly as an instrument for the maintenance of the existing system of law and order. Thus public administration has been singularly divorced from the change in the larger framework within which it operates

Intergovernmental Cooperation in Planning ang Financing Programs ; An Outsider's Views

Mr. Chairman and friends: It is indeed a great pleasure for me to participate as the only for ign speaker in this conference which deals with one of the most pressing administrative problems of the United States. I deem it a distinct privilege to come into contacts with must able leadlsrs and administrators as well as creative thinkers of Hawaii and the "Mainland." It is hardly necessary for me to add what a great delight it is for me to come back to your city, Mr. Mayor, and particularly on the campus of the East-West Center where I spent almost pleasant and fruitful time as a senior specialist a couple of years ago. Mr. Chairman, my assignment is to add an international perspective to the intergovernmental cooperation in planning and financing programs which, according to the prospectus of the conferernce, include "the use of planning for coordinated use of funds made available through great-in aid programs between different levels of government and international assistance." You would leadily agree with me that financial problems between the federal government and various states cannot be talked about in the same breath with these between different countries
