This important new handbook provides a comprehensive assessment of contemporary public policy and administration in the global south. Offering incisive comparative analyses and policy-specific case studies from across Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the book aims to inform future governance research, policy, and practice.
In recent years governments in the global south have faced a complex series of challenges and crises, from the pressures of a global pandemic, to the impacts of climate change, democratic backsliding, the rise of China, and deteriorating public services. This book reflects on the transformations, convergences, and underlying trajectories that have taken place, focusing on:
Democratic governance and institutional trust
Public service delivery, motivation, and governance outcomes
Non-state actors
Policy successes and failures
The policy implications of global governance and regionalism
The authors in this book bring together varied perspectives and experiences which will be important for researchers and policy makers wishing to understand contemporary governance models, innovations, and challenges within the Global South.
