FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (23 x 14.5 cm). pp.x+261. Publisher's original khaki cloth printed in green. Some light spotting to cloth, generally very good. "A candid critique of the institutional systems and practices that define, and in many cases limit, the administrative state in the Arab world, this study centers on the factors contributing to the failure of development efforts. Almost all Arab leaders, points out Jreisat, have promised bureaucratic reforms, but their political-administrative structures have not succeeded in building the institutions necessary to meet societal needs. Neither have they cultivated a professional managerial class with skills, commitment, and ethics compatible with development objectives. Addressing a cycle that seems to sustain and even reinforce institutional ineffectiveness in Arab governance, Jreisat offers a subtle under- standing of the way context and culture affect state capacity. He calls for reform strategies that recognize the importance of leadership and institutional development in setting objectives and in implementing them, in all sectors and according to concrete targets and codes of conduct. Jamil Jreisat is professor of public administration and political science at the University of South Florida. His numerous publications include Managing Public Organizations: A Developmental Approach to Administrative Theory and Process, Public Financial Management and Budgeting; and Administration and Development in the Arab World: Annotated Bibliography.".…
