Governance in the 21st Century

This book presents a unique approach to governance by drawing on insights from disciplines that extend beyond traditional public administration schemes adopted largely from the private sector, including general systems theory, complexity science and the interpretive frame of reference.Bosin draws on the functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structural paradigms to provide a more comprehensive approach in addressing complex societal issues.Utilizes case studies from multiple federal agencies, demonstrating the application of key components identified in the book as comprising an expanded view of governance.
