STATE, SOCIETY AND GOVERNANCE

"The relationship between the State, Society, and Governance has undergone significant transformation due to globalization, technological advancement, social movements, and changing citizen expectations. Governance today extends beyond traditional government institutions to include civil society, markets, communities, and digital platforms, making it a multidimensional and interdisciplinary field.
The edited volume State, Society and Governance: An Interdisciplinary Perspective brings together scholars and researchers from Political Science, Sociology, Public Administration, Economics, Law, Psychology, and allied disciplines to examine changing state–society relations and emerging forms of governance.
The volume explores key themes including public policy, democracy, development, social inclusion, participation, accountability, transparency, and digital governance, combining theoretical perspectives with empirical experiences.
The book aims to provide an integrated understanding of how states respond to social change and how governance mechanisms influence citizen participation, public service delivery, and institutional performance. It will be a useful resource for students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and practitioners interested in contemporary governance and social transformation."
