Orient Blackswan Public Policymaking In A Globalized World(Hb) by Robin J Lewis
The inexorable advent of globalization has transformed the public policymaking process into a multi-faceted challenge that transcends traditional policymaking boundaries and forces scholars, experts, and practitioners to redefine their field in terms of both theory and practice. While every policy dilemma has a specific location in time and space, most significant policy issues— climate change, food and water, economic development, global pandemics, terrorism and violence, and migration, to name just a few—now require a collective framing of the problem and a collaborative effort to take effective action.The essays in this volume were first presented at a conference hosted by the Istanbul Policy Center and supported by the Freidrich Naumann Foundation in November 2014. Policy thinkers from nearly a dozen countries participated, offering valuable insights into how policymaking is evolving from a circumscribed field of inquiry into a truly global dialogue that can help stakeholders to focus on key issues that threaten the survival of our planet.
