Since it achieved independence in 1957, the West African state of Ghana has become the torchbearer of African liberation, as well as a laboratory for the study of endemic problems facing the African continent. In terms of democratic consolidation, the country holds a unique position on the continent as beacon of stability and democracy. Politics, Governance, and Development in Ghana takes critical stock of the landmark themes that have dominated its history since independence. The contributors address issues such as citizenship, civil society, the military, politicians, chiefs, transnational actors, the public sector and policies, the executive branch, decentralization, the economy, electoral politics, natural resources, and relations with Asia and the diaspora. These themes support "mobilizing for Ghana's future," which is the theme for the diamond jubilee celebration of Ghana's independence. Edited by Joseph R.A. Ayee, this book will deepen the literature on studies on Ghana especially in the areas of politics, governance, economy and development; serve as a resource for academics, students, practitioners; and commemorate the diamond jubilee celebration of Ghana's independence.--Back cover

This book explores how good governance has become the third dominant concept in the modern state. It examines the concept and how it relates to the rule of law and democracy, and breaks it down into six categories: transparency, participation, effectiveness, accountability, human rights protections, and propriety.

"This book explores the concept of multi-level governance, its definitions and applications from a critical perspective of diverse scholars from administrative and management studies. It also illustrates the practical side of multilevel governance by emphasizing on the special policies such as immigration, innovation, climate, local government and construction"--

Civil society is often expected to rise above historical and contemporary socio-economic forces such as the neoliberal economic policy and undertake the transformation of a stratified society to an egalitarian society conducive to democracy. Democracy, Civil Society and Governance is an endeavour to critically examine such expectations. The book focuses on the interplay of democracy, civil society and public policy implementation, and addresses the role of civil society in terms of the changing nature of the economy and the condition of the working class. It highlights the reinforcement of hegemonic value systems by the contemporary mainstream civil society as well as the role of the pro-poor civil society in supporting and mobilizing the disadvantaged for their rights and justice. The book also critically evaluates government policies and their implementation in the domains of education, public health, employment, social upliftment and environment

A comprehensive analysis of the ways, networks and structures of cultural politics on state level which shows that cultural politics currently experience a crisis concerning their purpose and structure that is inherent in the system. - Kaum ein Politikfeld ist so heterogen zusammengesetzt, normativ aufgeladen und von symbolischen Handlungen geprägt wie die Kulturpolitik. Über die Funktionsweise dieses Feldes liegen bislang nur vereinzelte politikwissenschaftliche Studien vor. Michael Flohr wählt das selbsternannte »Kulturland Thüringen« als Fallbeispiel, um Handlungsfelder, Praktiken, Governance-Formen und Netzwerke in der Kulturpolitik zu untersuchen. Die Analyse stützt sich auf eine umfangreiche qualitative und quantitative Datenbasis und belegt: Kulturpolitik befindet sich in einer systemimmanenten Sinn- und Strukturkrise.

Human resource (HR) governance is a relatively new construct that has recently begun attracting more and more attention in both research and practice. As a part of corporate governance, it represents the internal and external normative framework of human resource management and its supervision in organizations. This book theoretically integrates HR governance with the related domains of corporate governance, general management, HR management, and leadership. By doing so, it provides scholars and practitioners in the field with a precisely delineated system of theoretical concepts for their work and helps to translate these concepts into concrete research questions and practical guidelines. By interpreting the new ISO 30408 norm on human governance and taking into account recent developments, the book helps to comply with and anticipate current and future HR regulations.

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, represented on the world stage by 57 states, as well as a host of international organizations and associations. This book critically examines the engagement of these states in systems of global governance and with a variety of policy regimes, including climate change, energy, migration, humanitarian aid, international financial institutions, research and education. Chapters explore the dynamics of this engagement, the contributions to global order, the interests pursued and some of the contradictions and tensions within the Islamic world, and between that world and the 'West'. An in-depth perspective is provided about the traditional and new forms of multilateralism and the policy spaces formed which provide new opportunities for the Muslim and non-Muslim world alike. Leslie A. Pal is Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy and Administration at the School of Policy and Administration at Carleton University, Canada, and Director of the Centre on Governance and Public Management.
