ENHANCING GLOBAL LESSONS IN COMPARATIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: KEY INSIGHTS AND STRATEGIES FOR AFGHANISTAN

Abstract

This article explores the potential of comparative public administration (CPA) frameworks as transformative tools for reforming and strengthening Afghanistan’s public administrative systems. The research objectives are to identify adaptable lessons and best practices from successful administrative models worldwide, analyze their applicability to Afghanistan's unique socio-political and economic context, and propose actionable reforms to enhance efficiency, responsiveness, and resilience. The study employs a qualitative research method, conducting a comprehensive review of historical and contemporary literature, case studies, and comparative analyses of administrative systems across different nations. The findings reveal that context-specific adaptations of global best practices can significantly improve institutional capacity, accountability, and public trust in Afghanistan. The research highlights the importance of tailored reforms that align with local needs and international insights, underscoring that strengthening governance structures contributes to a more stable, participatory, and prosperous Afghanistan. The significance of this research lies in its potential to inform policymakers and stakeholders about effective reform strategies grounded in comparative analysis, thereby advancing institutional development and good governance in Afghanistan
