摘要：As the Twenty-First Century moves ahead, it is increasingly evident that globalization and
democratization are strong forces playing crucial roles in shaping public sector
transformation around the world. For Asian countries, the key questions are, how should
selected reform ideas from other countries be diffused, and which parts of one¡¯s traditional
government and culture should be retained? A common choice among Asian countries is to
replace government with governance. Transforming bureaucracies from government to
governance involves the acceptance of certain democratic principles such as accountability,
openness, transparency, integrity, corruption-free, and high performance standards
(Bowornwathana, 2006: 667-680).
