GOVERNANCE IN DEVELOPING ASIA: PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERY AND EMPOWERMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 04289514B76280

English Summary/英文概要： Governance in Developing Asia is one of the first books of its kind to provide an overview of the role that better governance and citizen empowerment can play in improving public service delivery in developing Asia. The World Development Report 2004 set a framework for public service delivery in terms of the short and long roads to accountability of service providers to citizens. Ten years on, this important book revisits the issue and departs from the WDR framework, highlighting its shortcomings and offering alternative solutions. The contributors present fresh evidence on the relationship between governance and development outcomes, including growth and indicators of living standards. They argue that the Asia-Pacific region must do better in delivering essential public services if it wishes to continue improving the quality of life for millions of its people. They show how the quantity and quality of public services in a country can be improved if the government actively solicits citizen involvement in service delivery. Researchers and students of public policy and Asian studies will find this to be a useful read. Public policy makers and practitioners in government and non-government agencies will draw important lessons from the issues raised and solutions proposed in this book.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《亚洲发展中国家的管理》是该领域的最好书籍之一，它对更好的治理和公民权力在提高亚洲发展中国家的公共服务方面发挥的作用作了概述。2004年世界发展报告为公共服务交付在短期和长期道路中给公民提供的服务责任设定了一个框架。十年来，这本重要的书重新审视了这个问题，并脱离了世界发展报告的框架，重点指出其缺点，并提供可替代解决方案。作者对治理和发展成果之间的关系提出了新证据，包括经济增长和生活水平指标。他们认为，如果想要继续改善数以百万计的人们的生活质量，亚太地区在提供必要的公共服务上必须做的更好。他们展示了如果政府积极号召公民在服务实现方面的参与度，那么一个国家的公共服务的质量和数量可以大幅度改善。研究人员和公共政策和亚洲研究专业的学生会发现这是本很有用的书。政府和非政府机构的公共政策制定者和从业人员将在这本书中提出的问题和解决方案中收获众多。(LNL)

’This is an outstanding set of essays on the state of and changes in public services in developing Asia, paying particular attention to evidence and lessons and examining the role that governance and citizen empowerment can play in improving public service delivery. The themes cover the complex relationship between governance and economic development; the delivery of public services as the face of governance; and the role of empowerment in improving the delivery of public services. Each chapter, written by an acknowledged expert, offers an insightful review of the debates and evidence, and a meticulous distillation of policy implications. A tour de force that will be indispensable for both policy makers and scholars in this field.’ - Raghav Gaiha, University of Delhi, India ’Governance is central to mass prosperity since it affects both the prospects for enhanced and sustained income growth as well as non-income indicators of human development. This volume edited by Anil Deolalikar and Shikha Jha puts together cogent and well-rounded analyses by leading scholars on this topic and hence provides an in-depth and prescient perspective on governance in the Asia-Pacific countries. As such, this is an invaluable contribution and will be welcomed by academics, students as well as policymakers.’ - Raghbendra Jha, Australian National University
