This year's first issue of Croatian and Comparative Public Administration
(CCPA)   brings together a rich and diverse collection of six scholarly ar-
ticles that explore the evolving dynamics of public administration and
constitutional reform, followed by two articles devoted to analysis of local
self-government and democracy  across several Central and South-Eastern
European  states. The final section addresses various issues of administra-
tive dispute in Croatia as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the inter-
section of theoretical and doctrinal analysis and practical experiences, the
articles presented in this issue provide nuanced insights into the interplay
between  institutional structures and reforms, democratic development,
and administrative justice.
The first section, on Administrative and Constitutional Reforms, opens with z
an article written by Professor Edoardo Ongaro from the Open University 9
(UK)  and  Lejla Komarica from  the International Criminal Court (The   c
Hague,  Netherlands). In Administrative Reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina z
in Comparative Perspective: A Distinctive Case of Context in Motion, the au-
thors present a compelling analysis of administrative reforms in Bosnia
and Herzegovina,  covering the period from 1995 to 2020 and emphasis-   m
ing the fluid and dynamic nature of its governance context. The second
article, Analysis of the 1961 Constitution in the Pendulum of Democracy and i
Guardianship in Turkey, is written by Mutlu Yildirim from the Pamukkale i
University (Denizli, Turkey) and follows with a critical examination of the 2
1961  Constitution of Turkey, situating it within the broader pendulum  o
of democracy  and guardianship that has characterised the country's po- z
litical evolution. The research is significant because it ... highlights how
the balance between democracy  and tutelage shaped Turkish governance,
and argues for strengthening democratic institutions to eliminate residual  o
tutelary structures.
