Abstract

This essay, based on a keynote address, suggests three keys for good public administration in post-conflict reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting advisors, focusing on building administrative capacity, and truly finishing the conflict, especially against a lethal enemy within or without, before initiating reconstruction efforts. Drawing on case studies from Kosova, Myanmar, and broader international contexts, the essay underscores the complexities of reconstructing public administration structures and the need for innovative, yet stable, approaches to governance.
