{"product_id":"9789814635400","title":"Governing Asia: Reflections on a Research Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese thirty-eight essays by the professors and research fellows of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the School. The core theme of the essays is governance in Asia and what its governments and peoples are doing for the public good. As Asia rises, its policymakers and citizens, and indeed the rest of the world, are increasingly asking how this dynamic region is making public policy, what we can learn from that exciting, often turbulent process, and how Asians can do better. The School's diverse and international group of scholars have written a set of informal, provocative, and passionate essays about governance in Asia — its past, present, and future — and why they study it. The volume — a candid, engaging act of transparency and disclosure — is also an invitation to join the conversation on the problems and promise of Asia and the larger dialogue on public policy and policy research in a globalized world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Search of Good Public Administration and Governance \u003ci\u003e(Naomi AOKI)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Third Generation Theory of Collective Action \u003ci\u003e(Eduardo ARARAL)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing Importance and Increasing Complexity: Research in Public Financial Management in Asia \u003ci\u003e(Mukul G ASHER)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndia on My Mind \u003ci\u003e(Kanti BAJPAI)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Mindsets: Solving the World's Water and Wastewater Problems \u003ci\u003e(Asit K BISWAS)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Did I Get Here?
