This article provides a critical analysis of the development of public administration education in the context of five post-Soviet, transitional, and authoritarian Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan from early independence to the present time (1991–2019). The study is based on a review of Master of Public Administration (MPA) programmes offered by Public Administration Academies in each of these five Central Asian countries, a focus group with local academics, extensive secondary data analysis, and critical reflections of a local scholar with six years of MPA teaching experience in a Kazakhstani university. This article highlights context-specific challenges in design and implementation of the MPA programmes in Central Asia. These challenges include the: ambiguous role of Public Administration Academies; programme design; pedagogical issues; and weak research capacity. It is argued that the MPA programmes in Central Asia often provide an example of ‘mimicry’ of European/North American programmes with peculiar features of their local context. Public Administration Academies in Central Asia are highly politicised and strongly controlled by authoritarian governments. This study will be of particular interest not only to public administration scholars from all post-Soviet countries which share the Soviet legacy and socio-economic challenges, but also for scholars teaching in other authoritarian contexts.

中亚公共管理学院:“政府傀儡”还是独立的学习席位?

本文对五个后苏联时代、转型期和专制的中亚国家:哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和土库曼斯坦从早期独立到现在(1991 年 - 2019)。该研究基于对这五个中亚国家的公共管理学院提供的公共管理硕士 (MPA) 课程的审查、由当地学者组成的焦点小组、广泛的二手数据分析以及当地学者的批判性反思6年哈萨克斯坦大学MPA教学经验。本文重点介绍了中亚 MPA 项目在设计和实施方面面临的特定挑战。这些挑战包括:公共管理学院的作用不明确;程序设计;教学问题;和薄弱的研究能力。有人认为,中亚的 MPA 项目通常提供了一个“模仿”欧洲/北美项目的例子,它们具有当地环境的特殊特征。中亚的公共管理学院高度政治化,并受到威权政府的强烈控制。这项研究不仅对来自所有共享苏联遗产和社会经济挑战的后苏联国家的公共行政学者特别感兴趣,而且对在其他专制背景下教学的学者也特别感兴趣。有人认为,中亚的 MPA 项目通常提供了一个“模仿”欧洲/北美项目的例子,它们具有当地环境的特殊特征。中亚的公共管理学院高度政治化,并受到威权政府的强烈控制。这项研究不仅对来自所有共享苏联遗产和社会经济挑战的后苏联国家的公共行政学者特别感兴趣,而且对在其他专制背景下教学的学者也特别感兴趣。有人认为,中亚的 MPA 项目通常提供了一个“模仿”欧洲/北美项目的例子,它们具有当地环境的特殊特征。中亚的公共管理学院高度政治化,并受到威权政府的强烈控制。这项研究不仅对来自所有共享苏联遗产和社会经济挑战的后苏联国家的公共行政学者特别感兴趣,而且对在其他专制背景下教学的学者也特别感兴趣。
