Description of the research topic:

Public management and sociology

The research area prefers topics dealing with the organizational and operational dimensions of public administration, which concern with the systemic attributes of public administration, operational and activity processes, questions of how they are organized and managed, and individual organizational tools. Issues related to the development of
public administration are be analyzed not only in relation to the organizational system as a whole, but also to individual public bodies. The examination of the general concepts of administration, organization, leadership, control, and management in specific systems and activity types also belongs to this field. The topics of e-public administration and the digital state also belong to this field.

The growing scientific interest in diaspora studies is partly due to the rapid proliferation of kin-state activism. Governments seem to pay more and more attention to strengthening ties with co-national communities living abroad. To appreciate this, it is enough to take a look at the number of governmental institutions responsible for diaspora-related issues which have increased dramatically in the last three decades. While at the beginning of 1980 there were only a handful of such institutions, at present over half of all states in the United Nations have established at least one of these.
Diaspora studies as a research area provides an excellent base for examining this relatively new and increasingly extensive political sector. Furthermore, in addition to diaspora policies, this research area also includes the study of the historical evolution of particular diaspora communities, their interethnic relations, and their cross-border networks.
