Abstract :

Developing countries, growing societies, third world, are all titles to describe a group of countries that have economic, political, administrative, social, cultural, technical and technological similarities. One of the common aspects between third world countries is the characteristics of the administrative system governing these societies and the problems caused by them. The mentioned characteristics are similar in a way that distinguishes these countries from other countries. The characteristics and problems of the administrative system governing such countries are fundamental, and its characteristics include common challenges that can reduce economic capabilities, reduce the quality of public services, weaken good governance and sustainable development. In this article, we present a framework for studies on the challenges and problems of the administrative system using the meta-combination method and using the PRISMA protocol. In this regard, 300 articles taken from the databases of Google Scholar, Elsevier, Science Direct, isi, mendeley, researchgate, were examined in the period of 2008 to 2023. After performing two stages of screening, 24 studies were identified as articles for deeper analysis, and finally, a study framework was presented in the challenges and problems of the administrative system. The results of the research indicated that policy-making is very vital to deal with the challenges of the administrative system in third world countries. In any planning, the approaches and solutions used are very important. Planning should be done according to the local conditions and specific characteristics of each country and region. It includes culture, history, and social and economic conditions. However, it is recommended to conduct more extensive studies in this regard.
