Description
Book SynopsisGlobal Public Leadership for an Inclusive and Innovative Future analyzes the role leadership plays in balancing the competing forces of economic and social integration and the potential threats to sovereignty and cultural identity that result from globalization.
This book depicts how, rather than framing this phenomenon under the term âœdeglobalizationâ a contested concept, described in the book as Globalization 4.1, a rejection to some of the negative impacts of globalization. Rejection and a questioning of major technological change in prior phases of globalization is not uncommon. However, the very advances in technology brought about by Globalization 4.0, and the negative effects it has spawned have allowed its detractors to harness the growing chorus of people across different nations who question the benefits of increased integration and the perceived loss of sovereignty and community identity. Organizational leaders must balance these trends as they face pressures to seek greater opportunities for economic prosperity while also promoting collective wellbeing and environmental viability. These multifaceted and complex global issues affect all individuals, organizations, and societies. Therefore, public leaders need to be globally competent to improve policies, programs, and services for greater inclusion, justice, and sustainability in local and global communities.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of political science, organizational innovation, globalisation, sociology and public governance.
