Current Research

Jan-Hinrik Meyer-Sahling's research concentrates on public administration and public policy in Europe and in developing countries. He has focused on civil service reform in Central and Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans in the context of post-communist transformation and European integration. He has collaborated on several occasions with SIGMA-OECD and the Regional School of Public Administration based in the Western Balkans (ReSPA).

Most recently, he led a project on 'Civil Service Reform and Anti-Corruption in Developing Countries' funded by the DfID and the British Academy. In addition, he completed a project on 'Can Ethics Training Reduce Corruption in the Civil Service', which involved the design and implementation of ethics and integrity trainings with civil servants in Nepal and Bangladesh. The project was funded by the Global Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence Programme.
