After the inaugural webinar with Prof. B. Guy Peters, U. of Pittsburgh, on the concept of Administrative Traditions, we have explored with scholars from the continent the effect of the traditions on the public sector of selected African countries (see here). This time, we want to understand how these traditions are present in civil servants' daily work in Ghana and Mauritius and how they interact with Indigenous forms of public governance. Thus, we want to understand organizational contexts that scholarship defines as institutional interfaces - where Western and non-Western traditions co-exist.
Upcoming Speakers:
Dr. Nana Yaa A. Gyamfi (China Europe International Business School) & Dr. Adeelah Kodabux (LEDA & C4SP)
Topic:
Dr. Nana Yaa A. Gyamfi and Dr. Adeelah Kodabux will provide further details on the Ghanaian and Mauritian contexts. While both countries' public sector organizations have influences from the Anglo-Saxon respectively the Anglo-Saxon and Napoleonic traditions due to their colonial pasts, they are also shaped by Indigenous forms of governing the public sphere. How are these hybrid traditions manifested (if at all) in these two countries, and what are the consequences for public servants' daily tasks? How do they shape civil servants' dealing with future pressures for change while promoting equity and ensuring resilience and sustainability?
