Laudatio and introduction. Prof. Dr. Dr.H.C.Mult. György Jenei

Summary/Abstract: Professor Dr. György Jenei is the doyen of Central and Eastern European Public Administration. He, if anyone, is the leading figure of the field in our entire region; he personifies it; he has preserved it during darker times and has led it again to prominence since 1989, with persistence, integrity and style. He has done so both in form and in contents – the former both at his home, Corvinus University of Budapest, which together with Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Ljubljana is also the leading respective institution (and with which we have several strong cooperative exchange and research programs), and in his many leadership functions in professional and scholarly associations, including the recent NISPAcee Presidency during the crucial years of the height of the crisis. As a scholar, he is one of the small, 25-people cadre of scientific leaders in the region. And he truly did carry the torch of Public Administration during the times when its inefficiency was not an accident, but a core part of the local system; Professor Jenei’s early work on Max Weber was undertaken at a time when this was a politically highly incorrect thing to do.
