This timely book provides an in-depth exploration of future public governance in a post-pandemic world. It highlights the relationship between administrative reforms, collaborative mechanisms, and emphasises the necessity of a solid knowledge base and evidence based policy-making when responding to unforeseen societal changes and crises.

The Editors bring together expert authors to examine governance through structures, co-creation, collaboration, and knowledge utilization. Chapters feature insightful case studies from Nordic countries and Estonia with a special focus on the pioneering efforts of the latter transforming their public sector by harnessing social capital. They showcase the importance of preparing for unexpected challenges through trust based management mechanisms and co-creative solutions. Ultimately, the book underlines the need for anticipation and evidence-informed policy-making in effective governance, especially in times of crisis.

Future Public Governance and Global Crises is a vital resource for students of European public administration and policy, regulation and governance, comparative social policy and political sociology. It will also be of interest to policymakers working in future governance.

‘The Nordic welfare model faces various internal and external challenges that demand innovative approaches to public governance. This volume provides a wealth of insights into these challenges and potential solutions, covering areas from social services and healthcare to regional development and knowledge production for policymakers. Essential for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the Nordic countries and beyond.’
