The pursuit for better governance has assumed center stage in
developmental discourse as well as reform initiatives of all
organizations working for the public welfare, and includes such
issues as service delivery and responding to citizens' needs and
demands. In the era of globalization, multilevel and new modes of
governance are changing the traditional governance models of nation
states, accelerated by technological innovation, rising citizen
expectation, policy intervention from international and
multilateral donor communities, and the hegemony of western
ideology imposed on many developing nations. However, a universally
accepted and agreed upon definition of 'governance' still remains
elusive. There is no consensus or agreement as to what would be the
nature and form of governance and public administration. The
question that is raised: Is there a universal governance mechanism
that fits in all contexts or governance mechanisms should be based
on home grown ideas?One can see various programs and policies of
reforms and reorganizations in public administration in the
developing countries, but these efforts have not been effective to
address the challenging issues of economic development, employment
generation, poverty reduction, ensuring equality of access to
public services, maintaining fairness and equity, security and
safety of citizens, social cohesion, democratic institution
building, ensuring broader participation in the decision making
process, and improving the quality of life. Therefore, there is a
widespread concern for better governance or sound governance to
bridge the gap between theory and practice, making this book of
interest to academics as well as policy-makers in global public
administration.
