This text comprises reports from Council of Europe studies exploring issues of national and intra-national administrative culture--defined in part as the values, norms, orientations, and attitudes of an organization--throughout Europe. Nine country-specific discussions include new and candidate European Union nations. Other essays highlight current debates in administrative cultures around topics such as local democracy and civil involvement, the influence of European identity on regional administration, and e-democracy. This book is distributed in the US by ISBS.
