Dorothea Greiling - Böcker

This volume reflects on the consequences of the increasingly globalized nature of our world for public sector management. Globalization has triggered rapid growth in trade, global financial transactions and cross-country ownership of economic assets. The implications of these multifaceted processes for the welfare of today’s and tomorrow’s societies are unclear. What is clear, however, is that an increasing number of problems are too complex to be tackled solely at the level of national states. As a result, the size, functions and modi operandi of the public sector in a globalized world are emerging topics in academia and practice.

Wie schon bei den bisherigen, seit 1994 durchgeführten Colloquien ist es auch 2016 wieder gelungen, die vielfältige, unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen entstammende Forschung zusammenzuführen und einen fruchtbaren Austausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis zu initiieren.
