This textbook deals with the concepts and dimensions of governance by highlighting the major debates in the contemporary times.

Different facets of governance, such as democratic decentralization, environmental governance and role of non-state actors have been thoroughly discussed. Governance: Issues and Challenges offers a detailed summary of the insights into the policy and governance processes over the last seven decades in India, providing a comparative and conceptual framework of governance drawing instances from developed countries, situating governance imperatives in South Asia and finally, giving centrality to the issues and challenges of governance in India.
