Description
Governance is not a topic that easily lends itself to neat and precise definitions. Although concepts and practices of governance are profoundly under-specified, they are frequently associated with three dimensions: how and why governments are structured, what processes they employ in governing, and what results they are able to accomplish in serving their societies. The articles in this book represent a wide range of scholarly interests that extend from the abstract and conceptual to the specific and applied.
