Introduction to the Special Issue

Abstract

This special issue of Halduskultuur addresses the practice of Islamic institutions and values in Public Administration (PA) in various Asian countries. Although it only covers four countries in Southeast Asia, namely Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia, this depiction will provide a way to strengthen the study of Islamic Public Value as part of the effort to develop a new paradigm of Non-Western Public Administration (NWPA). The publication in this special issue is part of the “Islamic Public Value: Theory, Theology, and Practice of Indigenous Cooperative Governance Institutions” project supported by the John Templeton Foundation and hosted by the Institute of Innovation of Public Purpose, University College London.
