The Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration has published a collection of articles that explores how religious, cultural, and contextual factors influence the theory and practice of public administration across different settings. Moving beyond Western frameworks, it highlights how deeply ingrained societal values—whether from Confucian, Islamic, or other cultural traditions—shape public service motivations, institutional logics, administrative actions, and bureaucratic performance.

This collection highlights the importance of historically and culturally embedded norms, particularly in non-Western contexts where religion, tradition, and authority intersect uniquely to shape administrative realities.
