4.2 Globalization Service
Over the past few decades, improving public administration capacity has been one of the most critical issues facing developing economies. With rapid pace of globalization, the public sector is under even greater pressure to increase its capacity to deal with the new challenges and opportunities presented by globalization, such as new information and communication technologies, expansion of trade and investment, an increased focus on such public goods as the environment and human right, and the proactive role of global institutions, such as the World Trade Organization, that affect development processes at the country level. For example, Transparency International (TI), a Berlin-based international NGO, has national chapters in about 70 countries that provide a forum for the civil society, the private sector, and government functionaries to interact with each other to create public awareness about corruption in the country. The United Nations. General Assembly has passed a resolution requesting Member States to design and implement strategies to combat corruption. The Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) has approved an anti-corruption convention that was endorsed by the member countries, making bribery of public officials in developing countries by multinational corporations a criminal offence. The international business sector wants regulations that are conductive to investment and not state controls that stifleprivate sector initiatives. Each of the above and related actions that have emanated from the rapid pace of globalization have shifted the focus of the public sector from control to accountability and transparency in government action – a trend that is likely to continue and expand.
