Public Policymaking in a Globalized World: Revised edition [Hardcover]

The inexorable advent of globalization has transformed the public policymaking process into a multi-faceted challenge that transcends traditional policymaking boundaries and forces scholars, experts, and practitioners to redefine their field in terms of both theory and practice. While every policy dilemma has a specific location in time and space, most significant policy issues climate change, food and water, economic development, global pandemics, terrorism and violence, and migration, to name just a fewnow require a collective framing of the problem and a collaborative effort to take effective action.

 

The essays in Public Policymaking in a Globalized World offer valuable insights into how policymaking is evolving from a circumscribed field of inquiry into a truly global dialogue that can help stakeholders to focus on key issues that threaten the survival of our planet.
