This encyclopedia provides comprehensive coverage of current developments in public policy and public administration as fields of study and government practice in the global South. It contains distinct empirical, methodological, and theoretical essays on practical and normative transformations and underlying trajectories that have emerged in Asian, Latin American, and African public policy and administration in recent decades. It puts together a unique scholarship, bringing together all generations of scholars from different regions in the Global South to explore and examine public policy, public administration, and governance dynamics in developing countries.  The focus is mainly on those countries still dealing with development and democratisation challenges or those states that are yet to overcome colonial legacies.
