Synopsis

This edited volume analyzes South Asian public administration and its role in development through the lens of SDG 16. Chapters explore how SDG 16 has influenced the development of effective and accountable public institutions and the initiatives taken within this region to promote an inclusive society, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. Each case presented offers best practices, the challenges faced, and the opportunities SDG 16 provides for regional and national development, as well as valuable insights into the transfer of knowledge and learning within the South Asian region and for broader “South-South” and “South-North” exchange.

The book is intended for policymakers, businesses, civil society organizations as well as academics across research fields spanning management, social innovation, and corporate sustainability, who are pursuing research on public administration, governance and the SDG Agenda.
