The search for good governance has become an increasingly
important element of public policy and public management and is
high on the political agenda of East Asian countries. The need for
robust governance structures and institutions was brought into
sharp focus by the Asian Financial Crisis which adversely affected
most East Asian societies. Since then they have begun to look for
ways to restructure their public administration and political
systems in order to develop new mechanisms and structures to
promote good governance. This book focuses on how selected Asian
states have responded to the growing impact of "liberalizing and
marketizing trends" in public policy formulation and public
management. To what extent is the "state-guided" regime in Asia
still relevant to governing public policy / public management? What
are the policy implications for a growing number of Asian states
which are pursuing more pro-competition policy instruments? The
book is a timely and important collection that offers critical
analysis of the search for new governance in Asia and compares and
contrasts experiences in selected Asian societies such as China,
Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and other parts
of South East Asia. Chapters are written by leading scholars in the
fields of comparative development, policy and governance studies
from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Japan and the
United Kingdom.
