Abstract
As nations struggle to find their niche in a Global Age, so are their governments. Governments today are aggressively trying to re-define and re-position their role in a rapidly changing Global Age. Across nations, governments are attempting to play multiple roles ranging from security to healthcare, economy to social welfare, education to manufacturing, financier to regulator and so on—raising serious questions that need to be evaluated. The time has come for nations to debate whether their government and its governance framework can meet Global Age challenges effectively. This chapter discusses changing role of governments in a Global Age.
