'The Crisis of Governance is based on the premise that governance is in crisis and this includes a crisis of government, business, politics, science and expertise and difficulties in countries, firms and individuals working together to achieve societal goals. Hughes develops this argument by developing a Weberian-informed account of governance that explores governance for what and for whom. This includes a focus on different scales at which governance is enacted. The result is a detailed discussion of governance processes and practices with a particular focus on highlighting tensions, challenges and regulatory problems. This book develops a framework heavily informed by a detailed analysis of governance in the United States that could be usefully applied to explore governance in crisis in other contexts.' -- John Bryson, University of Birmingham, UK

'In his latest book, Hughes takes readers on a sweeping tour of the crisis of governance confronting us. Exploring a range of historical and contemporary themes, Hughes stakes out a fascinating argument about the criticality of governance and why its revival is central to our shared futures.' -- Janine O'Flynn, University of Melbourne, Australia 'The Crisis of Governance is based on the premise that governance is in crisis and this includes a crisis of government, business, politics, science and expertise and difficulties in countries, firms and individuals working together to achieve societal goals.
