Biography

Laila El Baradei is a Professor of Public Administration at the Public Policy and Administration Department, School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP), the American University in Cairo (A.U.C.), Egypt. Her areas of teaching include strategic management, essentials of public policy and administration, organizational behaviour, development management, human resource management and research methods for public administration.
