Global Public Policy Imperatives

Political Corruption and Governance

This book explores how public sector organisations at both national and local levels of Swedish government work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations.Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining citizens' trust in public organisations. Whilst various performance indicators suggest that public governance works well and corruption is low, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden. It analyses how ethics management is used in public sector organisations, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion in public sector ethics management, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.&nbsp;It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practiitoners.&nbsp;Staffan Andersson
 is Associate Professor in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His research interests include political and administrative ethics, corruption and anti-corruption.&nbsp;

 is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Her research interests include agency governance at national and EU levels.

This book explores how public sector organisations work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations. Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining public confidence in these organisations. Many established and wealthy democracies face a paradoxical situation. While various performance indicators suggest that public governance works comparatively well and with relatively low corruption levels, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden, at both national and local levels of government. It analyses ethics management strategies in public sector organisations and the bodies that support their ethics work, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practitioners.

Public Sector Ethics in Practice

Foundations of Public Policy: Theory, Process, and Practice from the Global South offers students and practitioners a new way of thinking about policy that is both globally informed and locally grounded. Drawing on cases such as doorstep food delivery program, community-driven welfare models, and digital governance experiments, the book shows how theory can illuminate practice, and how practice can reshape theory. Unlike most textbooks that rely on Global North examples, this book centres the Global South as a site of theory-building. It introduces students to the ontological and epistemological foundations of policy, then moves through its grammar, types, actors, and implementation before presenting policy frameworks from both the global north and south with case studies from the global south, which captures the complex and iterative nature of decision-making in our governance ecosystem. Each chapter blends conceptual clarity with pedagogy. Reflective prompts and learning competencies guide readers to connect policy science with lived governance case studies discussed in each chapter. By the final chapter, readers are equipped to critically analyse emerging challenges such as digitalisation, citizen participation, and algorithmic policy.This is more than a theoretical text: it is a handbook for public policy learners in the Global South and a comparative resource for Global North readers seeking to understand policymaking beyond Western assumptions.

Foundations of Public Policy

We’ve been on a raucous, century-long merry-go-round of dueling ideas and personalities: efficient versus inefficient markets; rational versus irrational investors; concepts of risk so profoundly different they don’t seem to reside on the same planet; rich families for whom money is among their least important characteristics; bitter, lifelong feuds. Along the way we’ve met some odd characters and had some amusing experiences.This book brings together the foundational ideas that have shaped investment and wealth management over the past hundred years. Curating thirty landmark works—from Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor to contemporary classics on behavioral finance and family governance—the book offers a structured guide to the principles, strategies, and philosophies that underpin successful wealth stewardship.Organized in three parts, the book surveys twentieth-century investment breakthroughs, twenty-first-century innovations, and the emerging canon of private wealth management. Each chapter distills the essence of a classic text, explains its historical significance, and demonstrates its relevance for today’s advisors and families. Topics include modern portfolio theory, risk management, behavioral economics, family enterprise governance, and intergenerational planning.Designed as an accessible reference for practitioners and informed readers, this book addresses the complexity of managing family capital—taxes, trusts, governance, and human dynamics—while grounding practice in enduring ideas. By synthesizing a century of scholarship and experience, A Century of Wealth Management Wisdom provides wealth advisors, estate planners, and family office professionals with a definitive resource for navigating the challenges of preserving and growing capital across generations.Gregory Curtis&nbsp;

A Century of Wealth Management Wisdom

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Perspectives on Asian Tourism

This book explores the evolving landscape of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain—in the post-COVID-19 era. Tourism is a vital and highly inclusive sector across the region, generating value not only within hospitality, transport, retail, and cultural industries, but also indirectly across sectors such as telecommunications and financial services. However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted tourism, with travel restrictions and lockdowns leading to a sharp decline in tourist arrivals and revenues.As the sector rebounds, with tourist numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels in recent years, new challenges have emerged, including over-tourism and its impact on local ecosystems and communities. These developments have intensified debates around the need for more sustainable and regenerative approaches to tourism, emphasising models that are less extractive and more responsive to environmental and social contexts.Against this backdrop, the book provides a timely platform for examining current and future strategies for sustainable tourism development in the GCC. It brings together diverse perspectives to address how the region can balance growth with ecological preservation and community well-being.Structured around three interconnected themes, policies, technologies, and practices, the volume offers a comprehensive framework for understanding tourism transformation. Policies provide strategic direction and regulatory context; technologies act as enablers of innovation and implementation; and practices reflect the lived experiences where these elements converge. By examining the dynamic interplay among these dimensions, the book delivers a holistic and forward-looking analysis of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf region.

This book examines local refugee integration policies in Western Europe, focusing on small and medium-sized towns and rural areas. Applying an innovative cross-country comparative approach, it maps and compares integration policies targeting humanitarian migrants in 36 localities across seven countries – Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy and Austria. It also analyses the drivers and effects of local policymaking processes in this field.The book challenges the dominant view that migration policymaking tends to be pragmatic and oriented at problem-solving. Rather, it shows that local integration policies are largely shaped by political factors, including the political affiliations of local governments, the presence and strength of radical right parties, and the dynamics of multilevel party politics. In doing so, the book throws new light on migration policymaking in small European localities, contributing to a field dominated by studies of big cities and metropolitan areas.Tiziana Caponio

The Politicisation of Local Integration Policymaking in Europe

This book proposes a radical rethink of how we fund our economy. Rather than disentangling public and corporate finance, this book shows how the two are forced to feed a never-ending force: growth. By re-visiting how money is created in our economy, the book proposes a new way of funding the economy using interest-free money creation.
Economic evaluation techniques like Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) reinforce the idea that to receive funding, a project need to generate economic growth. However, this book argues that the priority of the economics discipline should be to illuminate resource allocation and scarcity and propose ways to make the economy self-sustainable, helping to avoid inflation and poverty. To do this, the book highlights that not all public needs—such as social housing or other non-profit services—require economic growth. It argues that by decoupling public funding from taxation and interest-based borrowing, governments could more effectively fund essential public services that do not need to be profitable, thereby freeing the public sector from the growth imperative imposed by the current financial system. With practical applications for sectors including healthcare, environmental policy and sustainability, the book’s interdisciplinary approach – incorporating insights from economics, finance, public policy, anthropology and more – will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners in diverse fields.
