The governments of today are not able to transform and adapt to changes in the world around them, as demanded by their constituents. The nature of work, value of public goods, and the constant bombardment of crises are making the old bureaucratic structures obsolete.Agile Government is an emerging theme, that of government-wide reinvention for adaptiveness and responsiveness. It places the accountability, delivery, capture, design and creation of public value at the heart of the government. The concept of agile government is confused with terms like Agile Manifesto, agile governance, agility among others, and because of this, needs some unpacking.This book is a deep dive into this topic. It offers insights from the theoretical development of the topic of agile government, some lessons from government practices around the world, and ongoing academic and policy research. The project is spearheaded by the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government, which is the first teaching and research institution in the Arab world focusing on public policy and governance.

This book is a compilation of the papers and posters that have been accepted and presented at the Global Conference on Economic Diversification 2024. The main subject of the Global Conference on Economic Diversification (GCED) 2024 was to address methodological, theoretical, policy focused, and thought-leadership outcomes based on the EDI dataset and beyond. GCED brought together research scholars, academics, policy experts, and government decision-makers from around the world working on the frontiers of research and implementation of economic diversification. Accepted papers which were presented in this series, concluded either with rigorous research insights based on empirical analyses of important hypotheses pertaining to economic diversification or suggested policy recommendations based on in depth case studies and/or mixed method approaches. These insights thus is useful both for policymakers, economists in charge of macroeconomic stability, treasury officials and senior research faculty interested in the topic(s) of economic diversification, the resource curse, revenue diversification, and/or the commodity dependence trap.
