This case study describes the application of the public service code of ethics adopted by
Estonia, a country that shed communist rule in 1991. It demonstrates the problems
challenging a public service in transition, such as the need to redefine the role of public
service, coordination issues, enforcement problems and an implementation gap, and a
legalistic approach to public administration. The code exemplifies Estonia's chaotic and
inconsistent reform efforts but has nonetheless had a positive impact.
