Summary:
"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"-- Provided by publisher.
