The early 21st century has presented considerable challenges to the
problem-solving capacity of the contemporary state in the
industrialised world. Among the many uncertainties, anxieties and
tensions, it is, however, the cumulative challenge of fiscal
austerity, demographic developments, and climate change that
presents the key test for contemporary states. Debates abound
regarding the state's ability to address these and other problems
given increasingly dispersed forms of governing and institutional
vulnerabilities created by politico-administrative and economic
decision-making structures. This volume advances these debates,
first, by moving towards a cross-sectoral perspective that takes
into account the cumulative nature of the contemporary challenge to
governance focusing on the key governance areas of infrastructure,
sustainability, social welfare, and social integration; second, by
considering innovations that have sought to add problem-solving
capacity; and third, by exploring the kind of administrative
capacities (delivery, regulatory, coordination, and analytical)
required to encourage and sustain innovative problem-solving. This
edition introduces a framework for understanding the four
administrative capacities that are central to any attempt at
problem-solving and how they enable the policy instruments of the
state to have their intended effect. It also features chapters that
focus on the way in which these capacities have become stretched
and how they have been adjusted, given the changing conditions; the
way in which different states have addressed particular governance
challenges, with particular attention paid to innovation at the
level of policy instrument and the required administrative
capacities; and, finally, types of governance capacities that lie
outside the boundaries of the state.
