Handbook on Governance and Development

Edited by Wil Hout, Professor of Governance and International Political Economy, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Jane Hutchison, Adjunct Associate Professor in Politics and International Studies, Murdoch University, Western Australia

‘Governance has been a leading concept in academic and policy research on politics and development for a quarter century. This Handbook is a befitting marker of its evolution during this period. The editors bring together an impressive range of scholars from across the world to discuss the multiple contexts in which governance has been applied to highlight the ways societies are managed through the interaction between citizens and their public authorities. Specific issues include how governance relates to policymaking, human rights, state formation, and international development cooperation. The book is an invaluable source for researchers, teachers, and students of the complex relations between politics and development.’
