Focusing on both the trajectory and substance of the reforms, the volume provides a holistic treatment of the public sector in the European Union's smallest member state. The book is divided into four parts. Part I covers the historical background of public service administration and management in Malta from the 1500s to the 2010s. Part II focuses on recent reforms, begun in 2013, after the election of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat. Each chapter in this part addresses a particular reform theme: transparency and accountability; civil service systems and HR management; service delivery and digitalisation; organisation and management of government reforms; policy making, coordination, and implementation. Part III investigates the internal and external impact of the reforms, reporting and analyzing the results of a survey carried out among government employees and the Maltese population. The book concludes with a chapter on global reform trends that are likely to impact public service delivery in the future. Providing an in-depth view of public service in a small island state, this volume will be useful to researchers and students interested in public sector management, administration, and public policy as well as practitioners, consultants, and government employees. 001438627 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 11, 2021). 001438627 650_0 $$aCivil service$$zMalta. 001438627 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438627 7001_ $$aCamilleri, Emanuel,$$eauthor. 001438627 7001_ $$aMarmarà, Vincent,$$eauthor. 001438627 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z303074356X$$z9783030743567$$w(OCoLC)1242464999 001438627 830_0 $$aPublic administration, governance and globalization ;$$vv. 22. 001438627 852__ $$bebk 001438627 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-74357-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438627 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438627$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438627 980__ $$aBIB 001438627 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438627 982__ $$aEbook 001438627 983__ $$aOnline 001438627 994__ $$a92$$bISE
