Encyclopedia of governance : volume 1 dan volume 2
The Encyclopedia of Governance provides a one-stop point of reference for the diverse and complex topics surrounding governance for the period between the collapse of the postwar consensus and the rise of neoliberal regimes in the 1970s. This comprehensive resource concentrates primarily on topic related to the changing nature and role of the state in recent times and the ways in which these role have been conceptualized in the areas of political science, public administration, political economy, and sociology.
Key Features:
• Presents a determinedly global scope through approximately 550 entries written by international contributors that explicitly address global, regional and transnational topics; cover theories and concepts that are debated globally; highlight similarities and differences around the world; and offer examples from diverse regions and countries.
• Examines the changes in the state associated with the transfer of powers, rights, and function to organizations within civil society and with the rise of new types of regional and international linkages and problems.
• Explores how the state has become both increasingly dependent on organizations in civil society and increasingly constrained by international linkages
• Avoids the jargon that characterized most of the writing in the field and translates this language into a more familiar and commonsense vocabulary so as to make it intelligible to a wider public
• Offers comprehensive coverage of topics, including policy analysis, public-sector management, sociological theory, economic governance, democratic theory, security, and global governance.
