Leading the problems most critical to government decision makers
worldwide are those that derive from privatization,
democratization, and decentralization. Dr. Nagel and a panel of
academics and practitioners help clarify the ways in which problems
traceable to these trends are being handled -- and how they might
be handled better -- in light of the goals, experiences,
constraints, and other factors affecting participants in world
governance. Among the many important features of the book is its
interdisciplinary approach and the way it offers African, Asian,
Latin American, European and North American viewpoints. It also
combines the perspectives of liberal and conservative ideologies.
Cross-national with concrete examples and broad concepts and
principles carefully detailed, the book is an important source of
background and insight. Nagel and the contributors make clear that
privatizing can involve shifting from government to private
operations, with or without government ownership and with or
without liberal contract provisions to protect consumers, workers,
or the environment. They show that democratization can include the
expansion of political participation and can give minorities the
legal right to convert the majority to their positions, possibly
the technological and economic facilitators as well. They also
investigate ways in which national or state governments can be
involved as "high units" in decentralization processes, but show
that decentralization can involve local governments, neighborhoods,
businesses, or even individuals as the lower or "decentral units."
Throughout, the book offers alternative positions and discusses
their consequences from a variety of cross-nationaland
interdisciplinary perspectives.
