Overview

This title explores the issues involved in preparing governments throughout the world for the challenges of globalization. Governments that seek to participate in and benefit from a world becoming more integrated and interdependent must reinvent their structures and processes to become professional, digital, technologically proficient, deregulated, honest and transparent. Part I identifies the forces of globalization that are reshaping economic integration. Part II explores ways to increase the capacity of the state to play a catalytic role in creating the structures and processes needed to enhance participation in the global society of the 21st century. Part III focuses on the lessons of experience for public leaders and administrators in building a competent state in an era of globalization. This book should be of interest to public officials and public administrators, the leadership and staff of international development organizations, non-government organization leaders and students of public policy and administration, international development, international business and management, and economic and social development.

An excellent and coherent series of readings, which provide both conceptual models and practical lessons of experience relating to the dynamic opportunities and challenges of building the capacities for a competent state in an era of globalization. Full of innovative ideas, this volume stands out as exceptionally well informed, lucid, and measured. A most useful reading for all those concerned with the role of the state in the era of globalization. Offers readers experience, perspectives, analyses, proposals, and ideas they will not find anywhere else on central, important matters having a bearing on everyone. Shows how well-established but easily-forgotten findings of traditional development administration are merging with experimental and innovative programs as governments mobilize to deal with globalization, to re-invent themselves, and to address massive domestic injustice. The authors and editors have forged a rare, coherent narrative illuminating the state as a competent, adaptable partner linking global with local governance for navigating this new century.
