Reviews

'Governance has been a leading concept in academic and policy research on politics and development for a quarter century. This Handbook is a befitting marker of its evolution during this period. The editors bring together an impressive range of scholars from across the world to discuss the multiple contexts in which governance has been applied to highlight the ways societies are managed through the interaction between citizens and their public authorities. Specific issues include how governance relates to policymaking, human rights, state formation, and international development cooperation. The book is an invaluable source for researchers, teachers, and students of the complex relations between politics and development.' -- Goeran Hyden, University of Florida, US 'Governance is a perennial concern, development a wicked problem . This Handbook is a valuable collection that explores and exposes the intricacies and interconnecting dynamics of governance and development to provide a nuanced and detailed understanding for students and scholars alike. The Handbook brings together many of the most acclaimed international scholars - genuinely from all corners of the world - to give critical insight into some of the world's most pressing problems and how states attempt to contain and govern them.' -- Diane Stone, European University Institute, Italy
