      abstract = {A unique study of public service evolution in the 15  post-soviet countries from independence to date. It reveals  the diversity in their transformation shaped by historical  and cultural traditions and the soviet legacy they  inherited, as well as by the impact of the political will  of ruling elites, all of which influenced the  socio-economic and governance models these countries  adapted. Its value lays with the fact that it is a  collaborative outcome of prominent practitioners, who  actively participated in the transformation process, and  leading scholars representing all 15 post-soviet countries.  It is valuable addition to the body of knowledge of public  administration, allowing for improved understanding of the  complexity and depth of change that has taken place over  the past 30 years. It provides an in-depth analysis of the  public service reform process; a subject relevant to the  countries of the Region and beyond. Alikhan Baimenov,  Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Astana Civil  Service Hub; has held ministerial and other leading public  positions and has been a member of Parliament of the  Republic of Kazakhstan.
