Governance (Key Concepts)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Governance is an easy-to read introduction to an increasinglyimportant concept in political science. It provides a clearoverview of how the concept has been used in the sub-fields ofpublic administration and public policy, international relations,European studies and comparative politics.

There is no universally accepted and agreed definition of'governance'. It remains an elusive theory, defined andconceptualized in various ways. In this book, Anne Mette Kjaerguides the reader through the key theoretical debates which havegiven rise to distinct interpretations of governance. Drawing on awide range of empirical examples to illustrate her arguments, theauthor explores how governance has been used in different ways todescribe political changes in the modern world. She goes on toweigh up the pros and cons of governance as an analytical term, andconcludes with a discussion of the World Bank's role as aninternational organization which aims to promote 'good governance'in poor countries across the globe.

This is the first textbook to offer a systematic assessment ofcurrent debates around the concept of governance. It will be avaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students ofpolitics, international relations and public policy.
