Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book examines policy innovation in highly hierarchical societies, particularly in Asia. Drawing on an insightful case study from Thailand, it assesses how policy innovations come to be cultivated at the sub-national level of a centralised government. In particular, the book assesses the role of policy innovation cultivators in the policymaking process, including the constraints placed upon them and the tactics they employ to overcome them. Whilst this topic has received much attention from scholars in democratic societies, far less studies have examined the role of policy innovation cultivators in Asia and the Global South, where countries are often governed by hierarchical, semi-autocratic governments. The book therefore offers important insights into how the role of these cultivators differs in different parts of the world, depending on the political context, administrative system, and socio-cultural setting in which they operate. It also highlights the need for culturally sensitive approaches to studying policy innovation, tracing a journey through generative policy ecosystems. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, public administration and governance, as well as politics in Asia and the Global South. This book examines policy innovation in highly hierarchical societies, particularly in Asia. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Providing an analytical framework through illustrations of real-world practices, this novel and important volume investigates policy analysis in the context of high inequalities in Asia from critical and pragmatic perspectives.Through reflective review, cases, and lessons, this book provides discussions and develops a context-sensitive analytical framework: mapping spaces of deliberation from formal to semi-formal and informal; understanding narratives that travel between policy actors; and staying conscious of inequalities in knowledge and socio-political status. With particular focus on the Asian context, this book addresses intellectual and practical discussions in public policy, political science, public administration, and Asian studies. Chapters provide several illustrations and case studies that examine inclusive participation and its transformative potential in policy analysis in Asian settings. Ultimately, this book argues that despite inequalities and constrained possibilities, policy analysis is still able to affect what is politically and socially imaginable, and to be genuinely sensitive to contextual realities. Given that high inequality is a global phenomenon, the conclusions and findings will be widely applicable.Offering in-depth research and discussion on doing policy analysis in Asia, the book will be relevant to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of policy, political science, public administration, and Asian studies more broadly. Graduate students and policymakers may also find this book of use. …
