This volume explores the defining features, critical approaches,
challenges and opportunities for public policy in the ‘Asian
Century’. This is the first book to systematically analyse the
key institutions and practices that comprise public policy,
administration and governance to investigate how they are
changing in the context of increasing Asian influence. Its
authors argue that the Asian Century holds the potential to
generate a paradigm shift equivalent to the impacts of
neo-liberalism and the New Public Management of the late 20th
century.

Divided into three parts, this volume interrogates the theories
underpinning contemporary public policy; explores case studies
from different policy arenas across the Asian region; and
imagines what a future of globalised public policy might look
like. It examines the implementation measures necessary to
support policy and administration in an era of transnational
governance networks, tightly linked economic markets and
progressively fluid cultural exchanges. This book provides the
concepts and tools necessary to navigate these shifting sands
successfully. It is essential reading for scholars of public
policy, public management, international relations, and politics
and social sciences, as well as for administrators and public
servants.
