How policymakers should guide, manage, and oversee public bureaucracies is a question that lies at the heart of contemporary debates about government and public administration. This text calls for public management to become a vibrant field of public policy.
What kind of policy analysis is required now that governments increasingly encounter the limits of governing? Exploring the new contexts of politics and policy making, this book presents an original analysis of the relationship between state and society, and new possibilities for collective learning and conflict resolution. The key insight of the book is that democratic governance calls for a new deliberatively-oriented policy analysis. Traditionally policy analysis has been state-centered, based on the assumption that central government is self-evidently the locus of governing. Drawing on detailed empirical examples, the book examines the influence of developments such as increasing ethnic and cultural diversity, the complexity of socio-technical systems, and the impact of transnational arrangements on national policy making. This contextual approach indicates the need to rethink the relationship between social theory, policy analysis, and politics. The book is essential reading for all those involved in the study of public policy.
The volume considers politics as cooperative group action and takes the position that forms of government can be posited on a continuum with endpoints where governance is shared, and where hegemony dictates, ranging from politics as interaction to politics as imposition. Similarly, dialogue and dialogic action can be superimposed on the same continuum lying between truly collaborative where co-participants exchange ideas in a cooperative manner and dominated by an absolute position where dialogue proceeds along prescribed paths. The chapters address the continuum between these endpoints and present illuminating and persuasive analyses of dialogue in politics, covering motions of support, the relationship between politics and the press, interviews, debates, discussion forums and multimodal media analyses across different discourse domains and different cultural contexts from Africa to the Middle East, and from the United States to Europe.
We live in a time when the largest numbers of people who were being lifted out of absolute poverty in a relatively short time in human history have relapsed into extreme poverty due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). This is happening in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Pacific and Americas as well as all other parts of the globe. At this time, the understanding of Public Policy and development are enriched at an unprecedented pace. This is also the time when the once thriving economic, social, political and environmental transformations developing and developed countries experienced are being undermined by the global pandemic. The experience for developing countries to achieve prosperity through economic growth, good governance and inclusivity have gained greater attention today than ever. The desired paths and innovative approaches to harnessing public policy dialogue are even more demanding; thus, the rightful time to explore important insights about national and global development. Issues regarding aid, corruption and anti-corruption, poverty reduction, social protection, economic growth and overall sustainable development require sober reflections. Such reflections and insights must be evidence-based. To these, this book contributes. It’s therefore a compelling consensus to grab and read a copy. Don’t miss it.
Capital market liberalization has been a key part of the ongoing debate on globalization.
