The overarching aim is to help readers understand the context, by analyzing global trends and anticipating change for better planning and constructing pathways from the present to the future by focusing on the right questions and problems. The book contextualizes the role of international agricultural research in addressing the complex challenges posed by UN 2030 Agenda and beyond, and identifies the decisions that scientific leaders, donors and policy makers need to take today, and in the years ahead, to ensure that a global population rising to nine billion or more combined with rising incomes and changing diets can be fed sustainably and equitably, in the face of the growing climate threats. 410 0$aWorld Scientific Series In Grand Public Policy Challenges Of The 21st Century 517 $aAgriculture & Food Systems To 2050 517 $aAgriculture & Food Systems to 2050:Global Trends, Challenges and Opportunities 517 $aWorld Scientific Series In Grand Public Policy Challenges Of The 21st Century vol. 2 610 $aPolicy 610 $aGlobal Trends 610 $aClimate Change 610 $aNutrition 610 $aTechnology 610 $aAgri-Food System 610 $aAgriculture 610 $aUN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 610 $aForesight 676 $a333.76/16 700 $aSerraj$b Rachid$0980305 701 $aPingali$b Prabhu L.$f1955-$0976135 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349464903321 996 $aAgriculture & Food Systems To 2050$92586712 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04016nam 2200493z- 450 001 9910563073103321 005 20210210 010 $a1-928396-68-2 035 $a(CKB)5680000000036092 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/34773 035 $a(oapen)doab34773 035 $a(EXLCZ)995680000000036092 100 $a20202102d2018 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCulture, Philosophies and Reforms in Public Administration for the Globalising World$eA Reflection on Local, Regional and International Perspectives 210 $aDurbanville$cAOSIS$d2018 215 $a1 online resource (186 p.) 225 1 $aAssociation of Southern African Schools and Departments of Public Administration and Management Book Series 311 08$a1-928396-67-4 330 $aThe aim of this scholarly collected work is to contribute to the scientific discourse on public administration in a globalised environment. The book reflects on governance challenges in South Africa and in Africa, with its point of departure being the 'master narratives' (the so-called grand debates) such as New Public Management and, specifically, the role of technology. It also reflects on the so-called middle range discourses concerning organisational-level issues in government (e.g. leadership and work procedures) and explores new solutions to old governance challenges like corruption and service delivery. The uniqueness of this collected work lies in its ability to reflect on existing philosophies and practices in an innovative way. Through its multidisciplinary lens, the book opens up a new vision for the future of public administration in the South African context and on the African continent, not neglecting the current local, regional and global environment. Until recently, globalisation was considered an entrenched world order, but international political events during the course of the past few years have resulted in one of the biggest challenges to its endurance in recent history. This includes developments such as the successful referendum in Britain to exit the European Union, highlighting the growth of a severe nationalist and protectionist agenda that may be a signal of the unravelling of the current globalism world order. These developments inspire deeper interrogation of the challenges to effective public administration globally and the ripple effects in South Africa and Africa as a whole. Pointedly, it is evident that ensuring the voice of citizens in policy decision-making remains a critical governance challenge. On the policy front, there are perennial challenges of land reform, service delivery and poverty, while on the governance front, corruption has metastasised with a growing culture of impunity and lack of accountability in leadership. In the midst of growing corruption, and more than 20 years into democracy, South Africa's income inequality remains one of the highest in the world. This setting constitutes the context of the research outcome published in this scholarly work. 517 $aCulture, Philosophies and Reforms in Public Administration for the Globalising World 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration$2bicssc 610 $aCSOs 610 $aNAFDAC 610 $aPublic Administration 610 $atown twinning 610 $aTransparency International 610 $awater resource management 610 $awhistle-blower 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aPublic administration 700 $aIjeoma$b Edwin O.C$4edt$01296941 702 $aNzewi$b Ogochukwu$4edt 702 $aIjeoma$b Edwin O.C$4oth 702 $aNzewi$b Ogochukwu$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910563073103321 996 $aCulture, Philosophies and Reforms in Public Administration for the Globalising World$93024304 997 $aUNINA
