Abstract
This book is an attempt to understand the challenges of globalization and governance in the public sector. It uses the terms governance and public administration interchangeably because the tasks of implementation require the cooperation of both the public and the private sectors. Globalization implies the importance of the interaction between the public and private sectors at both the domestic and global levels. Therefore, public administration faces enormous challenges in dealing with all actors delivering government services. Public administration does not exist in a vacuum: It must deal with the environment, both internal and external, to implement the tasks of the government. Globalization is an important element in both the internal and external environment. Public organizations, both internally and externally, are influenced by global phenomena. Khan investigates the challenges of globalization in managing human resources, ethics and accountability, sustainability, e-governance, and leadership in the public sector.
