The ability of a nation to finance its basic infrastructure is essential to its economic well-being in the 21st century.

The theories, research and practical examples in the book illustrate the policies and practices that helped governments navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Financial Crisis and Great Recession, and that contributed to government shipwrecks. The book is designed to help officials make good, sound fiscal choices in a fast changing, complex financial world entwined in a network of intermediaries, and within the constraints imposed by fiscal rules and institutions.This updated edition will be of interest to academics, students and researchers interested in economics, finance, international studies and public administration and policy.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Public Policy and Politics in Georgia – Lessons from Post–Soviet Transition
After the break-up of the USSR, the former Soviet countries took different paths. While many of them face severe economic problems or have become only questionably democratic, Georgias socio-political development has become a relatively successful post-Soviet transition story. A deeper understanding of Georgia can offer insights that are also useful for other transitional and developing states. Many of the good governance implications of the research papers assembled in this volume are highly relevant to the broader Caucasus region and other post-Communist countries. The contributions deal with central issues pertinent to Georgian public policy, administration, and politics, as well as to Georgias ongoing struggle for independence and democracy. The collection illustrates a particularly revealing case in the comparative study of modern governance.
