"In Governance in the 21st Century, Morris Bosin offers an integrated approach in addressing real world governance challenges. Divided into four broad sections, Bosin begins by introduces the nature of governance, its use in the public and private sector, and at different levels in our society. The section that follows covers traditional and emerging approaches to governance and reviews the various epistemological roots that frame our understanding of governance approaches. The next section includes a detailed discussion of the three components of my proposed approach to an expanded view of governance - requisite variety, complexity, and reflexivity. The concluding section illustrates the application of this approach through the use of case studies targeted at selected Federal agencies as well as at specific societal issues including FDA Drug Review Program, Indian Affairs Bureau of Indian Education Program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, COVID 19 and Police Department Strategies. Crossing traditional disciplinary lines, Bosin's integrated approach will guide the academic community as well as practitioners toward a more holistic view of governance and offer generic solutions that can be adapted to any number of issues that portend transformational change for society"--

According to the government, clearly agreed local arrangements should enable individual general practitioners to make their full contribution to the new system of community care without getting involved in extra bureaucracy. From 1 April the main part of that contribution will be to refer to social services those patients who seem to need social care. Many general practitioners are worried that such referrals will be complex and time consuming and will generate too much extra work. Moreover, general practitioners may also be asked to see patients specifically to help social workers' assessment procedures, and many fear that such consultations will overwork and underpay them. General practitioner fundholders already use contracts to spell out what they expect from hospital services. From 1 April they will be able to set up contracts for community health services such as district nursing and chiropody, and possibly this might be extended to social aspects of community care. Over the past 14 months Dr Rhidian Morris and his partners in a fundholding practice in Devon have piloted contracts for all aspects of community care. In this article Dr Morris explains how the most radical part of the pilot project--the contract for social care--was set up. He argues that the lessons on communication that came from what was essentially a fundholding project could apply also to non-fundholding practices.
